immediately.
Here are the
steps in the process and dates, per the notes from our meeting on 29 June in

16-18

Committee meets to rank top 4 candidates (or as many candidates as
applicable).
19 July:
CSC Selection Committee
will provide the top 4 candidates (or as many as applicable) to the GNSO Council
for consideration, and as an amendment to the motion for consideration at its
meeting on 21 July.
24
July: Meeting to discuss
full slate of CSC members and liaisons. Note: The only time that works,
and not for all, is 2100 UTC. We can discuss on 19 July if we want to keep
this time. In the meantime, I will tentatively get it set
up.
30 July:
Draft motion due for the
GNSO Council meeting, or vote outside of a meeting, on 09
August.
Evaluation
Notes:
1.
The skills evaluation will be
the primary criterion to prioritize candidates, but gender and geographic
diversity could be secondary criteria.
2.
Each CSC Selection Committee
member may draft his or her own ranking that may be used to guide the discussion
of the final ranking among the full Committee.
The Candidate Expression of Interest and
CVs received thus far is attached for your review. Here is the link to the
Survey Tool: https://s.zoomerang.com/r/WVZ239V.
James Gannon has separately provided his
CV/bio at:
Thank you very
much for your assistance and please let me know if you have
questions.
Kind
regards,

Meeting Notes, 29 June 2016
1. CSC Selection
Committee rules of working (conflicts of interest, consensus finding,
...):
·
Wolf-Ulrich offered, and was
accepted, to Chair/Moderate.
·
Conflicts of interest are not
an issue since no Selection Committee member plans to apply for the liaison
role.
·
Decision-making will be via
full consensus with no objections.
2. Discussion of
CSC candidate evaluation survey tool and the evaluation
process:
·
The criteria in the survey
tool, which is taken from the original Call for EoI, will form the basis of the
evaluation.
·
Determined that there is no
need for Selection Committee members to recuse from the evaluation of candidates
from the same C/SG because:
o
There are likely to be few
candidates;
o
Evaluators from the same C/SG
as a candidate may provide useful knowledge and
perspective.
·
If an interview of an
unfamiliar candidate is desired it might be arranged, but not likely to be
needed.
·
Support Staff will check EoIs
and request any missing information if necessary.
·
Support Staff will review the
survey tool and check to see if both conflicts of interest questions should be
mandatory (right now just the first is marked as such).
·
The skills evaluation will be
the primary criterion to prioritize candidates, but gender and geographic
diversity could be secondary criteria.
·
Each CSC Selection Committee
member may draft his or her own ranking that may be used to guide the discussion
of the final ranking among the full Committee.
3. Update on EOIs
received to date: 1 received thus far
4. Review of CSC
Selection Timeline – Comparison of ccNSO and GNSO
Activities/Dates:
·
Determine why the ccNSO dates
are later than those originally proposed for the ccNSO/GNSO/RySG consultation,
although this may not be an issue.
·
Note that the ccNSO proposal
is that the selection of the full slate of liaisons and members would be made by
a joint Selection Committee of the ccNSO/GNSO/RySG. GNSO CSC Selection
Committee members noted that they may be willing to serve on that joint
selection committee.
5. Review of Update
Slides for GNSO Council Meeting:
·
Minor
edits.
·
Include Timeline of the
comparison of ccNSO and GNSO Activities/Dates.
