Dear Council Members, I have just been advised that I will be providing a briefing to Council on the SPIRT Charter Drafting Team work in our June 12 meeting in Kigali. Staff is currently preparing a slide presentation to assist me in this task. Given the short time frame to the June 12 meeting, I did want to let Council members know that among other developments, the team achieved consensus today on a requirement for participants on the SPIRT team to disclose (initially and on an ongoing basis) the identity of persons or entities to which the member provides legal, financial, consulting or other services. The team concluded that this Charter language recommendation follows naturally from the "additional information" language in Annex E to the effect that Council may specify member disclosure of additional information as it sees fit. The slide presentation will also cover other amplifications/variations to the Final Report Annex E Implementation Guidance for the SPIRT. I don't know how much time will be allotted for this discussion on the agenda but thought it best to highlight the above issue so that Councilors may be adequately prepared, recognizing that they may need to consult their SGs and Cs on this point. I realize there will also be a need to share the draft Charter language generally with your SGs and Cs, but note that the Charter will not come before Council for a vote until our July meeting. Thank you, Anne Anne Aikman-Scalese GNSO Councilor NomCom Non-Voting 2022-2024 anneicanngnso@gmail.com
