During ICANN60 in Abu Dhabi, the ICANN Board paused the second community-driven review of ICANN’s Security, Stability, and Resiliency Review Team (SSR2-RT[community.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__community.icann.org_display_SSR_SSR2-2BReview&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=e2_vSs0tO1T2wQ8QCAl9vi4XWaH5Pm1ut8GW8wzsRq0&s=jY2Tay6YpAn6d8hrieeDK3JjQ0NGogTk95IAB3nNaGU&e=>). Following ICANN60, the SSR2-RT members prepared a matrix of members’ skills and expertise and an evaluation of the scope of the review. As there is no established process by which to re-start the SSR2-RT, the SO/AC leaders have been collaborating since ICANN60 on the process to re-starting this important review effort. The GNSO Council will discuss the issue with a view to sharing its findings with the SO/AC leaders through the Council Chair. In order to inform the wider community of the GNSO Council’s intentions, a small group of Councilors have drafted a letter to be shared with SO/AC leaders. Here, the Council will discuss the draft letter and ensure that there are no objections to the transmission of the letter to SO/AC leaders. 9.1 - Presentation of discussion topic (Council leadership) 9.2 – Council discussion 9.3 – Next steps Item 10: ANY OTHER BUSINESS (0 minutes) 10.1 – Planning for ICANN61 ________________________________ Appendix 1: GNSO Council Voting Thresholds (ICANN Bylaws, Article 11, Section 11.3(i)) See https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en/#article11[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_resources_pages_governance_bylaws-2Den_-23article11&d=DwMGaQ&c=FmY1u3PJp6wrcrwll3mSVzgfkbPSS6sJms7xcl4I5cM&r=PDd_FX3f4MVgkEIi9GHvVoUhbecsvLhgsyXrxgtbL10DTBs0i1jYiBM_uTSDzgqG&m=e2_vSs0tO1T2wQ8QCAl9vi4XWaH5Pm1ut8GW8wzsRq0&s=RSbY98hk8mgEkINmN0UoxCH6xLlfRS8t-b9n4rfLiuw&e=>.
