Hi James, Thanks for the update. Just to be clear, have you received confirmation that Eric will be appointed to SSR2-RT via his RSSAC nomination? Thanks, Keith From: council-bounces@gnso.icann.org [mailto:council-bounces@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of James M. Bladel Sent: Thursday, January 19, 2017 12:29 PM To: Susan Kawaguchi; egmorris1@toast.net; GNSO Council List Subject: [EXTERNAL] [council] PROPOSED AMENDMENT Re: Motion: Nomination of GNSO Candidates for SSR2-RT Councilors – I’d like to propose an amendment to this motion. Since submitting the motion last week, we’ve recently learned that one of our recommendations for Primary Member (Eric) has also been selected by another group (the RSSAC). As a result, the small group discussed our preferences, and would like to make the following changes: (1) Remove Eric Osterweil as a GNSO Primary Member. (2) Change Emily Taylor from Alternate Member to Primary Member. (3) Add Rao Naveed bin Rais as a new Alternate Member. If this is acceptable to seconders (Susan & Ed), I would ask staff to modify the language of the motion to reflect these changes. And I look forward to our discussion of this motion during today’s Council Meeting. Thank you, J.

Bladel" <jbladel@godaddy.com<mailto:jbladel@godaddy.com>> Sent: Monday, January 9, 2017 9:37 PM To: "GNSO Council List" <council@gnso.icann.org<mailto:council@gnso.icann.org>> Subject: [council] Motion: Nomination of GNSO Candidates for SSR2-RT Councilors – Attached and copied below, please find a motion for Council consideration during our next call on 19 JAN 2017, which presents our slate of candidates for the Security & Stability Review Team (SSR2-RT). As you may recall from our DEC 2016 call, we decided to convene a small group comprised of myself, Heather, Donna, Susan and Ed. This group was tasked to evaluate submitted applications for our 3 Primary (guaranteed to be seated) and 4 Alternate (may be seated based on need & diversity) candidates, and bring these recommendations back to the Council. The attached motion presents our findings. Looking forward to discussing this during our next meeting. Thank you, J. Nomination of GNSO Candidates for Second Security, Stability, and Resiliency of the DNS (SSR2) Review Team Whereas, 1. On 30 June 2016, ICANN launched a call for volunteers seeking individuals interested in serving as a Volunteer Review Team Member on the SSR2-RT (see https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-3-2016-06-30-en<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_news_announcement-2D3-2D2016-2D06-2D30-2Den&d=DgMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=gvEx8xF7ynrYQ7wShqEr-w&m=VyDS7GSHgUP0TrrVxaqXHagDd64yA-axOQ4BtvjA8Jw&s=IGMHIr1aRraenzt5dKnsiPMmh7W0S83aIGS4rCh5R98&e=>). 2. Under the new Bylaws, each SO/AC participating in the Specific Review may nominate up to 7 members to the review team, for consideration by the SO/AC leadership, for a review team of no more than 21 members. Any SO/AC nominating up to 3 individuals are entitled to have those nominees selected as members to the review team, so long as the nominees meet the applicable criteria for service on the team. 3. The GNSO Council formed a small team to review the candidates that requested GNSO endorsement (see https://community.icann.org/x/xRqsAw<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_x_xRqsAw-29&d=DgMFaQ&c=5VD0RTtNlTh3ycd41b3MUw&r=gvEx8xF7ynrYQ7wShqEr-w&m=VyDS7GSHgUP0TrrVxaqXHagDd64yA-axOQ4BtvjA8Jw&s=BoxruxemjgwZ28fyyVlv5fBSwg_C-6TexIDFm5F7E0A&e=>) taking into account the criteria outlined in the call for volunteers as well as the desire to ensure a RT that is balanced for diversity and expertise. The small team submitted its findings to the GNSO Council on [date]. 4. The GNSO Council considered the findings of the small team. Resolved, 1. The GNSO Council nominates (in alphabetical order): Denise Michel, Eric Osterweil, James Gannon as its primary three candidates for the SSR2-RT, noting that these candidates under the new ICANN Bylaws are entitled to be selected. Furthermore, the GNSO nominates (in alphabetical order): Emily Taylor, Howard Eland, Norm Ritchie, Scott McCormick to be considered for inclusion in the SSR2-RT by the SO-AC Chairs should additional places be available. 2. Noting the lack of diversity (gender, geographic) of the applicants, the GNSO Council encourages Staff to explore ways to encourage gender and geographic diversity in applications for future review teams. 3. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to communicate resolved #1 and #2 to the staff supporting the SSR2-RT. 4. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to inform the applicants that have received endorsement that the GNSO Council expects that, if selected for the SSR2-RT, the applicant will represent the views of the entire GNSO community in their work on the SSR2-RT, and provide regular feedback as a group on the discussions taking place in the SSR2-RT, as well as the positions being taken by GNSO Review Team Members. 5. The GNSO Council requests staff supporting the SSR2-RT and application process to send a response to those applicants who did not receive endorsement (if any), thanking them for their interest. The response should also encourage them to follow the SSR2-RT work, and participate in Public Comments and community discussions.
