by Julie Hedlund March 1, 2025

Dear SCCI members, Thank you for voting. Per the attached results, Manju Chen has been elected as Chair of the SCCI. Also, as stated by the SCCI charter, ”The SCCI Vice-Chair role shall be filled by the house opposite to the house filling the Chair role”, so accordingly only Ajith Francis (RySG-CPH) is eligible for the role of Vice-Chair as being from the opposite house from Manju Chen (NCSG-NCPH). Thank you to all candidates for participating and welcome to our new Chair and Vice-Chair, Manju and Ajith!

Nomination- Ajith Francis (VC): Call for Volunteers: SCCI Chair & Vice-Chair
by jen＠dot.asia Feb. 21, 2025

Feb. 21, 2025

Dear Julie and SCCI members, We are fortunate to have a great slate of people willing to serve as leadership for the SCCI, just a note that the Chair and Vice Chair need to be from the different houses of the GNSO (in the SCCI charter) so with that in mind I would like to nominate Ajith Francis to serve as Vice Chair of the SCCI. Ajith has been instrumental in revamping the Board Seat 13 procedures for the CPH. He is steering a small team within the RySG on Cyber Incident Reporting, and have previous experience leading two consensus-driven multi-stakeholder policy development processes at the Internet & Jurisdiction Policy Network, and at an intra-governmental upstart within the erstwhile Planning Commission of the Government of India. We would be well served with having Ajith’s analytical mind as part of the leadership of this group should he accept this nomination.

Dear Julie and SCCI team, It would be my pleasure to nominate Lawrence Olawale-Roberts for SCCI Vice-chair. He is very active in different parts of ICANN, has good institutional knowledge and excellent leadership qualities. I think he would be an excellent choice should he accept the nomination.

Dear Lawrence, Thank you for your message. This meeting slot was reserved before there were conflicts. That being said, it is very difficult, if not impossible, to secure an unconflicted timeslot at ICANN meetings and – in any case – it is also too late at this point to reschedule. However, as usual the session will be recorded and staff will also capture brief notes, for those SCCI members who cannot attend. Kind regards, Julie From: "Lawrence O.

Of concern is the first meeting for our group - the planned kick-off meeting to be held at ICANN82 in Seattle is planned for Saturday, 08 March from 16:30-17:30 local time. This time belt clashes with the CSG Membership working session and would impact the attendance of BC, ISPCP and IPC members on the SCCI. Kindly consider rescheduling our first meeting to such a time where such a large number of participants would not be impacted. warm regards.
