Dear all,

The secretariat was asked by Council to draft a timeline to appoint a ccNSO member on the RZERC by 12 July 2019. Please find included the draft timeline.

Following the Guideline: ccNSO Actions Respecting the Root Zone Evaluation Review Committee (https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccnso-rzerc-guideline-01sep16-en.pdf ), you are requested to adopt the proposed timeline and launch the RZERC Selection process.

If there are no objections by a Councillor by 12 July 2019, the secretariat will launch the call on 15 July 2019,

Kind regards,

Bart

The term of current ccNSO appointee on RZERC ( Peter Koch, DNIC, .de) ends on 1 October 2019, however he is not term limited yet. In order to meet the requirement under the Guideline: ccNSO Actions Respecting the Root Zone Evaluation Review Committee (https://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/ccnso-rzerc-guideline-01sep16-en.pdf ) Council asked the secretariat to propose a timeline.

The suggested timeline assumes that the ccNSO member should be appointed by 1 October 2019, preferably earlier.

Note that the current member is not term limited yet.
