Please see the roles and criteria below per the SCCI Charter [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy...>. Please submit your nominations on the SCCI list in response to this message no later than close of business, Friday, 21 February. In the event that there is more than one candidate, we will run an election process via Doodle poll. Our kick-off meeting will be held at ICANN82 in Seattle on Saturday, 08 March from 16:30-17:30 local time (09 March 12:30 UTC). An agenda will be posted prior to the meeting. Kind regards, Steve, Saewon, and Julie ***More Information on Leadership Roles and Criteria*** Leadership Structure The SCCI leadership team shall consist of a total of 2 members: ● SCCI Chair (1) ● SCCI Vice-Chair6 (1) The leadership team of the SCCI is a volunteer position, selected by the SCCI and confirmed by the Council. The SCCI Chair serves as a neutral facilitator who calls meetings, presides over SCCI deliberations, and manages the process so that all participants have the opportunity to contribute. The Chair also represents the SCCI to the public. The Chair is also a contributing member to the SCCI deliberations and participates in consensus calls. The Vice-Chair will assist the Chair, and should at any point a Vice-Chair needs to step into the role of Chair, the same expectations with regards to fulfilling the role of Chair as outlined in this charter will apply. As members of the leadership team may be serving in two roles, they are expected to make clear when they are providing input as a member as opposed to speaking in a leadership capacity. Leadership Criteria The SCCI leadership is expected to carry out the roles and responsibilities and meet the qualifications as detailed in the Expectations for Working Group Leaders & Skills Checklist [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/f...>. As noted in the document, the leadership team must lead with neutrality and impartiality, while seeking to build consensus. The leadership team should also be familiar with the GNSO Chair Handbook [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/f...> and the Consensus Playbook [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/f...>.
