Hi Lori, It is fine to share the questions either using the attached working document (which is also posted on the publicly accessible wiki) or by sharing the “preview” version of the poll: https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r… . We just ask that you do not share the actual poll link once it is circulated, as we only want SSC members to complete it.

I look forward to discussing it with my constituency. May I circulate the questions to my constituency list to get their ideas? They may have something that we haven’t thought of. Lori Lori S.

I think in this case, for question 1, it may be easiest to select “other” and simply describe your preference as you do below. We will not be analyzing the results quantitatively. The goal is primarily to understand what different SSC members are thinking at this point. To that end, as long as your response captures your point of view, it will provide useful input for the discussion. > > Kind regards, > Emily > > On 01/06/17 10:39, "gnso-ssc-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-ssc-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Johan Helsingius" <gnso-ssc-bounces(a)icann.org<mailto:gnso-ssc-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of julf(a)julf.com><mailto:julf@julf.com%3e> wrote: > > Dear Emily, > > I am not sure how to handle the interaction of questions 1 > and 2. > > In question 1 we address the GNSO chair, and the questions > assume he/she is either first choice or the alternative > choice - but in question 2 there is the possibility of the > rep being selected from current council leadership - so the > chair is one possibility, but not the only one. > > In this case, should one answer "yes" to both choices in > question 1? > > Would it be clearer to add a possibility of "the chair is > not special" on question 1? > > Julf > > On 01-06-17 10:24, Emily Barabas wrote: > > Dear SSC members, > > > > > > > > As discussed yesterday, we will be opening a poll on some of the key > > questions the SSC is considering related to the EC Admin representative. > > Over the last two meetings, we have received input from Sam Eisner & > > Trang Nguyen (ICANN org) and James Bladel (GNSO Council Chair and > > interim rep) to support development of the selection process. > > > > > > > > The purpose of this poll is to get a sense of the direction of travel > > from the group and see if agreement is beginning to form on key > > questions related to this selection process. > > > > > > > > The poll is currently in “preview” mode so that you can review the > > questions: > > https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r… . > > If you enter a response at this point, it will not be recorded. *If you > > have any feedback on the questions or survey structure, please send > > comments by 8:00 UTC tomorrow. *Staff will then incorporate any feedback > > and open the poll. ** > > > > > > > > Note that an updated working document with questions and discussion > > points is attached for reference. > > > > > > > > Kind regards, > > > > Emily > > > > > > > > *Emily Barabas *| Policy Specialist > > > > *ICANN*| Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers > > > > Email: emily.barabas(a)icann.org<mailto:emily.barabas@icann.org> | Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976 > > > > > > > > > > > > _______________________________________________ > > Gnso-ssc mailing list > > Gnso-ssc(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-ssc@icann.org> > > https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-ssc > > > > _______________________________________________ > Gnso-ssc mailing list > Gnso-ssc(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-ssc@icann.org> > https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-ssc > _______________________________________________ Gnso-ssc mailing list Gnso-ssc(a)icann.org<mailto:Gnso-ssc@icann.org> https://mm.icann.org/mailman/listinfo/gnso-ssc

Poll "preview" - EC Admin representative
by Emily Barabas June 1, 2017

June 1, 2017

Dear SSC members, As discussed yesterday, we will be opening a poll on some of the key questions the SSC is considering related to the EC Admin representative. Over the last two meetings, we have received input from Sam Eisner & Trang Nguyen (ICANN org) and James Bladel (GNSO Council Chair and interim rep) to support development of the selection process. The purpose of this poll is to get a sense of the direction of travel from the group and see if agreement is beginning to form on key questions related to this selection process. The poll is currently in “preview” mode so that you can review the questions: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=0kmHUwrR8LPXqqz64zxwbFIsitOE7P4M…. If you enter a response at this point, it will not be recorded. If you have any feedback on the questions or survey structure, please send comments by 8:00 UTC tomorrow. Staff will then incorporate any feedback and open the poll. Note that an updated working document with questions and discussion points is attached for reference.

Additional comments from James Blade (interim EC Admin rep)
by Emily Barabas June 1, 2017

Dear SSC members, Below are responses from James Bladel to questions raised during the second half of our call yesterday: * Are we sure there will not be conflicting time commitments for the Chair during ICANN meetings if the Chair also serves as EC Admin rep? Will ICANN always provide non-conflicted slots for meetings that EC Admin reps need to attend? JMB – Not any more or less concerned about ECA conflicts than any other type of competing session schedules that we typically see at ICANN meetings. I believe the Community Forum, if needed, provides sufficient notice for the Chair to avoid conflicts. * What provisions (if any) exist under the current, temporary EC Admin rep arrangement in the case that an alternate is needed? JMB—None that I’m aware of. As the Interim Rep, I presume a motion from Council could transfer this Interim role to one of the Vice Chairs, another Councilor, or anyone within the GNSO. And as said on the call, I think tying the role to the Chair, Vice Chair or Councilor does solve a number of other problems, like term limits, rotation, travel support, etc., as these procedures would already be in place for those roles. James also provided the page that was recently created by Staff regarding the ECA, which he had referenced in the meeting: https://www.icann.org/ec[icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_ec&d=DwM…> Kind regards, Emily Emily Barabas | Policy Specialist ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers Email: emily.barabas(a)icann.org | Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976
