Dear All, The GNSO Council met today in order to consider the list of GNSO SG endorsed applicants to the ATRT. In fact, prior to the meeting, we had only formally received the endorsement of the Registrars SG in writing and we received the Registries SG endorsement during the course of the meeting. Given that, in our original communication, we indicated that the 24th January would be the deadline, we have now set a final deadline for SG endorsements of 23h59 UTC on 24 January. Please can you ensure that your SG provides an endorsed candidate and , if appropriate, the SG support of up to 2 additional candidates whom you wish to be considered for GNSO endorsement. The additional candidates will only be considered as part of the GNSO agreed diversity criteria (should they be required) and will need the support of 60% of both houses in order to be added to the slate of GNSO endorsed candidates. Please send your endorsements to <mailto:gnso-secretariat@gnso.icann.org> gnso-secretariat@gnso.icann.org as soon as possible. Please note that if your SG does not endorse a candidate, the GNSO may be endorsing fewer than four nominees. Thank-you for your assistance with this. Best wishes, Jonathan Robinson ---------------- Jonathan Robinson Chair ICANN GNSO Council <mailto:jonathan.robinson@ipracon.com> jonathan.robinson@ipracon.com skype: jonathan.m.r From: Jonathan Robinson [mailto:jonathan.robinson@ipracon.com] Sent: 16 January 2013 11:12 To: 'marilynscade@hotmail.com' (marilynscade@hotmail.com); krosette@cov.com; tony holmes (tonyarholmes@btinternet.com); William Drake (william.drake@uzh.ch); alain.berranger@gmail.com; robin@ipjustice.org; 'KEITH DRAZEK (kdrazek@Verisign.com)'; Matt Serlin (matt.serlin@markmonitor.com) Cc: council@gnso.icann.org GNSO (council@gnso.icann.org); Glen de Saint Géry (gnso-secretariat@gnso.icann.org) Subject: RE: Accountability & Transparency Review Team 2 (ATRT 2) Dear All, Following up on my letter of 7th January 2013. The Call for Applicants is now closed and therefore we now have the complete list of applicants arising from within the GNSO. GNSO Council Vice Chair Wolf-Ulrich Knoben has kindly prepared a summary of the GNSO applicants (attached). According to the previously agreed procedure (attached), the Council now needs to consider the resulting list of up to four nominees (endorsed by the four stakeholder groups). The deadline for declaration of SO/AC endorsement is tight (28 January 2013) and the next GNSO Council teleconference is scheduled for tomorrow, 17th January 2013. Therefore, we have scheduled an additional teleconference on 21 January 2013 in order to specifically deal with this issue, if we have not been able to deal with it on 17 January 2013. Accordingly, if your stakeholder group is intending to endorse a candidate from the pool, please can you complete the process (by sending you endorsements to the GNSO secretariat) as soon as possible (and in any event before the 21 January 2013) so that the Council can complete the Process for GNSO Endorsement. Please note that if your SG does not endorse a candidate, the GNSO may be endorsing fewer than four nominees. Thank-you for your assistance with this.
