Hi all, In trying to wrap up some Council Action Items, this is a reminder. Please work with your respective SGs and Cs to provide any feedback directly to the ATRT3, or to advise the Council if there are comments that would fall within our remit. Here are the questions posed during our session with the ATRT3 in Marrakech: * Are your community members satisfied with their interaction with the GAC? What types of improvements would your community like to see implemented? * What is your perception of transparency within policy development process, including the EPDP? * Do you find the Board's current level and recent efforts towards accountability and transparency improvements satisfactory? * Is there anything else you'd like to share from the perspective of accountability and transparency?

A reminder about the questions posed to Council by the ATRT3 team in Marrakech. See the email below. We need to develop a Council response or advise the ATRT3 that we are deferring response/input to our individual SGs and Cs. Regardless, if you haven't done so already, please socialize these questions with your respective groups. 2. One of the GNSO-appointed members of ATRT3, Erica Varlese, has advised that she will be moving to a new job and will therefore resign from the ATRT3. The GNSO Council leadership team discussed this situation and reviewed the history around the current slate of GNSO appointees. In brief, the GNSO Council originally nominated three primary candidates (Wolfgang Kleinwächter, (NCSG), Patrick Kane (RySG) and Osvaldo Novoa (ISPCP)). It also nominated the following four candidates in case additional spaces needed to be filled: Michael Karanicolas (NCSG), Adetola Sogbesan (BC), Erica Varlese (RySG), and Jacques Blanc (RrSG). All seven of the GNSO nominees were seated. There are none who applied but were not selected. Noting that the GNSO has substantial representation in ATRT3, and no backup candidates, the leadership team recommends we *not* undertake a new EOI and candidate replacement process. Please let us know if you have a different view or any follow-up questions. We can discuss further during our call this week.
