SUBSTANTIVE MATTERS & DECISIONS

 
16.  Assessment feedback on change of affiliation of elected Councillor

For discussion and decision

Draft Resolution

Background

Over the years Councillors selected by ccNSO members have changed their affiliation, during their term, starting in 2004. To deal with these type of situations, a practice has evolved that the ccNSO members from the region who have selected the Councillor, do not object that the selected Councillor continues to serve for the duration of the term. In addition, in case the former employer of the Councillor was a ccTLD Manager, this Manager should not object, as well as the new organization, if any,  to which the Councillor would be affiliated. To date this practice is not documented as such.

 

Decision

The ccNSOP Council requests the ccNSO Guideline Review Committee (GRC)  to document the current practice and include it in the review of the ccNSO Council Selection Process Guideline, which is already undertaken. If in documenting the practice issues become apparent, the GRC  is requested to suggest ways in which these issues may be addressed to Council. The secretariat is requested to publish this resolution as soon as feasible. This resolution becomes effective seven (7) days after publication. The secretariat is requested to inform the GRC, as soon as this resolution becomes effective.
