Dear all,

Please find included the draft update of the ccNSO Council Selection Guideline. The current version, to be replaed, is available at: https://ccnso.icann.org/about/guideline-ccnso-council-election-procedure-15dec22-en.pdf

Due to change in lay-out and inclusion of a glossary, a redline version is not available.

The GRC has completed its review of the Guideline. Goal is to ensure that the next Council Selection process will happen under the updated Guideline.

After you have completed your review, the GRC will adjust the Guideline, if necessary.  

You are requested to review the included version. If you have any comments, please send them to the list or directly to me by Tuesday 3 June 2025. The GRC will review your comments and update the draft if considered necessary.

 The update takes into account the various recommendations of the Council election process manager and direction from Councill. The major changes are:

• Include a glossary and relevant Bylaw sections. Includes definition of self-nominating and self-seconding
• Clarification of nomination procedures and introduction template for nomination seconding and acceptance of nomination..
• Procedures around change of affiliation:
  • During selection process
  • As Councillor-Elect
  • As Councillor

Thank you and kind regards,

Bart
