CSC Selection Committee 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 (attached), 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.
