Dear all, As you will recall, all Councillors who will not put their name forward are eligible to select the two ccTLD members on the Customer Standing Committee. To structure the procedure, I suggest that Council agrees on the following internal procedure, which was also used in the past for, among others, the selection of the NomCom appointee. If you have any questions/comments etc. please let me know as soon as possible but preferably by upcoming Friday (17.00 UTC) The secretariat is working on a wiki space which will include all relevant documents and links etc, around the selection of the ccTLD members. Goal is to have that page up by tomorrow afternoon PST. Once that page is up I will send out a reminder of the call for volunteers. Kind regards, Bart COUNCIL INTERNAL PROCEDURE SELECTION ccTLD MEMBERS ON CSC Selection phase by Councillors On 16 July 2016, I will send you all applications received before 15 July 2016, 17.00 UTC. If we received an application after that closing date and time, I will note it as such, but will not forward the application form and other documentation. Next step is that you select and list your candidates (maximum 5) in order of preference and mail me your list (bart.boswinkel@icann.org<mailto:bart.boswinkel@icann.org>), with subject line ‘CSC candidates’. To select your preferred candidates you are supposed to take into account and be guided by the selection criteria as included in section 5 of the Guideline (http://ccnso.icann.org/workinggroups/guidelines-ccnso-csc-16jun16-en.pdf ) Note that if 3 or more candidates apply, please compile a list of your up to top 5 candidates, based on the Selection Criteria, and assign 5 points to the most preferred candidate, 4 points to the second preferred candidate, etc. PLEASE SEND ME YOUR EMAIL BEFORE WEDNESDAY 20 JULY 2016 17.00 UTC Administrative Procedure After you send me the email with your list of candidates in order of preference, I will acknowledge receipt of your email and include a ballot number and date of receipt. On 20 July 2016 (after 17.00 UTC) I will then circulate a list in the following format: - Ballot number, - Date ballot was received, - candidates voted for and level of preference (5,4, 3 etc.). This email will also include the total level of preference per candidate. As agreed by Council resolution the two candidate receiving most supportive votes, will be selected. This list will also be included in a report of the selection process.
