Hello,

As his application text is a bit schematic, some folks might feel like adding George to the endorsee pool would be uncomfortable leap of faith.  Accordingly, I sent George a note suggesting that he might want to provide more information about his relevant expertise and views on ICANN SSR issues.   Attached is what he sent me in reply, share with your SGs if you like.  

Best,

Bill

Thanks Olga.

All – Please note that this motion assumes that ‘George Asare Sakyi’ would be added to the GNSO endorsement slate of candidates for the SSR team to improve the geographic diversity of the candidates.  If any SG does not support adding George to the slate, an amendment could be proposed in that regard, resulting in approval of a slate of candidates having the four SG primary candidates for the SSR team.
