4. Discussion on how to fill seats on possible, future council for the Root Server Governance, which may include up to 6 seats to be filled by ccTLDs, ccNSO.

From minutes meeting 226: Peter Koch, member of the RSS GWG, noted that at the group’s meeting before Council meeting 226, they discussed the Public comment and a session in Mumbai to present the results. Based on the outcome of the work of the RSS GWG, the Board may recommend a council for the Root Server Governance, which would hold 6 seats to be filled by the ccNSO. Peter suggested an informal session to brainstorm on how to fill those seats if that should be decided. 

Questions to consider:

• what will be term, will term be staggered?
• What are expected qualifications members of the Council? Any diversity requirements?
• Who will appoint/slect the members? (ccNSO Council /ccNSO members)
• Who will initiate the process? ( ccNSO Council, the new Governance Council, ICANN)

Kind regards,
