+1 

I agree that the ex - SubPro leadership team perfectly fits needs of SPIRT and given the history,
I think that Jeff and Cheryl have all qualifications and experience required for the roles.

Sincerely Yours,

Hello Steve,



Without any disrespect to others, I would like Jeff and Cheryl to serve and
share the roles. They did an immense job on the Sub Pro together.

What is more important is to rotate the call time week by week ( USA work
hours one week, Australia work hours next ), so that Cheryl is  available in
her daylight work hours for a change !  

Regards,

Phil

Leadership for Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (SPIRT)



Dear SPIRT Team,



With our proposed deadline passing for corrections to or withdrawals from
the list of volunteers for SPIRT leadership positions, we would like to
remind you of the proposed next step, which is the volunteers seeking to
reach agreement amongst themselves for who should serve as Chair and which
two volunteers should serve as vice-chairs.



Best,

Steve

Leadership for Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (SPIRT)



Dear SPIRT,



The Call for Volunteers for the SPIRT Leadership Team closed last Friday,
21 November. We greatly appreciate all those that have applied for the roles
and for the high level of interest you have shown in this opportunity. We
greatly appreciate your enthusiasm and the time taken to submit your names.

These are the names we have so far (Listed in the order of submission):

Volunteers for Chair

1. Cheryl Langdon-Orr
2. Nitin Walia
3. Nefertiti Marquez
4. Jeff Neuman

Volunteers for Vice-Chair (Some names overlap with Chair volunteers.
Vice-Chair appointments will be determined after the Chair position is
finalized)

1. Cheryl Langdon-Orr
2. Segunfunmi Olajide
3. Nitin Walia
4. Nefertiti Marquez
5. Anil Kumar Jain
6. Edmund Brahene
7. Jeff Neuman
8. Mark Wilson
9. Juan Manuel Rojas

First of all, if we have unintentionally missed any names, kindly let us
know by Wednesday, 26 November 2025, at 23:59 UTC.

Second, in light of the large number of applicants exceeding available
seats (i.e., a single Chair and two Vice-Chairs), we are conducting a final
review to ensure that all submissions still wish to remain under
consideration. If anyone would like to withdraw their name at this stage,
kindly inform us by Wednesday, 26 November 2025, at 23:59 UTC, so we can
update our list accordingly. (see also the list in the wiki:

https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AQCJHQ
[icann-community.atlassian.net])

Next, we kindly ask that the applicants first work collaboratively to
reduce the list, ideally all the way down to the allotted positions per the
SPIRT Charter. If the applicants cannot come to agreement amongst themselves
by Monday, 1 December, we will proceed with a voting process on Tuesday, 2
December, to determine the final selections by the Kick-off Meeting
(scheduled for 4 December – please see calendar invite).

Thank you once again for your cooperation and understanding. We look
forward to your prompt responses.

Kind regards,

Saewon

Dear SPIRT,



Welcome to the Standing Predictability Implementation Review Team (SPIRT)!

https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/AQCJHQ
[icann-community.atlassian.net].



Our first order of business is to select our Leadership – One Chair and up
to Two Vice-Chairs per the

“The Chair of the SPIRT is a volunteer position, filled and selected by the
SPIRT from amongst its members and confirmed by the GNSO Council. The SPIRT
may also select up to two Vice-Chairs, also from amongst its members, which
does not require GNSO Council confirmation. The leadership team shall serve
a two-year term, with the role being reviewed by the GNSO Council every two
years.”



Accordingly, this email serves as a Call for Volunteers for the Chair and
Vice-Chair(s) positions of the SPIRT. Please respond to this email on the
SPIRT list if you would like to volunteer, and/or if you would like to
nominate someone in the Team by Friday, 21 November 2025, at 23:59 UTC. The
volunteers will be put forward to the list and confirmed by non-objection.
Subsequently, the confirmed names of the Chair and Vice-Chair(s) shall be
submitted to the GNSO Council for formal confirmation at its meeting on
Thursday, 11 December 2025, at 21:00 UTC.



If the SPIRT should need more time to choose its Chair/Vice-Chair(s), this
motion can be deferred to the GNSO Council’s January Meeting. In addition,
should multiple applications be received for the leadership role(s), we
propose that the candidates seek a suitable solution amongst themselves or
if unable to do so, hold a team vote through a doodle poll. In any event, we
would like to ideally complete this process by the end of year so that the
SPIRT is ready for action from the beginning of the new year (January 2026).



Next, an email has already been sent to you with a Doodle poll to help us
schedule a 60-minute Kick-off Meeting. Please also complete the Doodle poll
by Friday, 21 November 2025, at 23:59 UTC. Once the Kick-off Meeting is
scheduled, a draft agenda will be sent to the list.



Please do not hesitate to reach out should you have any questions or
concerns.



Thank you.



Kind regards,

Saewon
