Dear all, As requested, I am sharing the notes and recording from the SSC call that took place on 11 January: https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/2023-01-11+GNSO+Standing+Selection+... As Anne shared below, Arinola recused herself from this selection process and the BC appointed an alternate, Tim Smith. SSC Vice Chair Alan Woods served as temporary Chair for this selection process. Please let us know if staff can provide any additional information. Kind regards, Emily From: council <council-bounces@gnso.icann.org> on behalf of "Aikman-Scalese, Anne via council" <council@gnso.icann.org> Reply to: "Aikman-Scalese, Anne" <AAikman@lewisroca.com> Date: Saturday, 14 January 2023 at 15:55 To: Tomslin Samme-Nlar <mesumbeslin@gmail.com>, "DiBiase, Gregory" <dibiase@amazon.com> Cc: GNSO Council List <council@gnso.icann.org> Subject: Re: [council] GNSO-Nominated Mentor to the ICANN Fellowship Program Hi Tomslin. The chair was not present in the deliberations. As an SSC member, I just wanted to assure you that the deliberations were objective. Candidates were ranked in a polling process subsequent to review of each EOI. I believe the deliberations may have been recorded. If so, staff will be able to provide you with a link to that session.

I have no specific concern as I trust the SSC did its job well according to its charter. It just raises eyebrows when the chair of the selection committee is the name chosen by the same selection committee for a GNSO role. Warmly, Tomslin On Sat, 14 Jan 2023, 03:33 DiBiase, Gregory via council, <council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> wrote: Hi All, I have a quick update to the placeholder motion that was submitted for Nomination of an ICANN Fellowship Program Mentor and is an item is on the 19 January Council agenda.
