Dear Council members, As a reminder, tomorrow is the last day to provide input on the attached draft EOI materials for the Fellowship Selection Committee role. Absent any input by then, staff will work with the leadership team to get this EOI announcement posted on the GNSO website.

We will collect your feedback for a week until 7 December 2022 COB. Please note in the documents that this EOI deadline is yet to be set but will be likely in the first half of January 2023.

We have consequently decided that we will formally launch an EOI and inform the SSC of the assignment to make a selection. The Mentor position has been the subject of a number of EOIs in the past, for which we do have documents available – please find them attached. The Selection Committee position hasn’t and we are now finalizing the corresponding documents which I will share as soon as possible. Do note that these EOIs are opened to the GNSO in general (not just Council) and we will engage with the different constituencies directly.
