by Emily Barabas Nov. 29, 2018

Nov. 29, 2018

Dear SSC members, First, I would like to share some changes to the membership of the SSC. As you know, SG/Cs are asked to reconfirm membership following the AGM each year. While most members from last year are continuing on in the coming year, there are a few changes: * NCSG: Sam Lafranco and Johan (Julf) Helsingius are replacing Renata Aquino Ribeiro and Rafik Dammak * RySG: Erica Varlese is replacing Maxim Alzoba (this was announced prior to the AGM) Welcome to the new members, and in Julf’s case, welcome back! In addition, I would like to share some details about the SSC’s next assignment. The GNSO has opened an Expression of Interest (https://gnso.icann.org/en/announcements/announcement-20nov18-en.htm) for a GNSO nominated mentor for the ICANN Fellowship Program. The EOI will close on 7 December. The GNSO Council has asked the SSC to recommend a candidate for this position in time for the Council’s meeting on 20 December. In preparation for this selection process, please complete the following: * Review information about the assignment on the wiki: https://community.icann.org/x/RQLuBQ * Preview the draft survey and send a message to the SSC mailing list before 5 December if you have any concerns about the format: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/Preview/?sm=DuBI8Uia_2Ba4uV1ADLOWSkRfOhBmTPc… * Complete this doodle poll to help us schedule the next SSC meeting: https://doodle.com/poll/czpkek9374ef8zyg Thanks in advance.

Fwd: [council] SSC selection of GNSO candidates for the ATRT3
by Rafik Dammak Nov. 18, 2018

Nov. 18, 2018

Hi all, I submitted the motion for ATRT3 selection and I got this suggested amendment from Darcy on behalf of Registrars SG. I know that we didn't want to give a ranking for the secondary candidates but we should give a response to the suggestion. personally, I don't have any problem with it, but please let me know your thoughts asap. Best, Rafik ---------- Forwarded message --------- From: Darcy Southwell <darcy.southwell(a)endurance.com> Date: jeu. 15 nov. 2018 à 01:53 Subject: RE: [council] SSC selection of GNSO candidates for the ATRT3 To: Nathalie Peregrine <nathalie.peregrine(a)icann.org>, Rafik Dammak < rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com>, Council GNSO <council(a)gnso.icann.org> Rafik, As maker of this motion, the RrSG would like to suggest an amendment. The secondary candidates list is identified as being submitted in no particular order. Given that the NCSG and RySG have representatives listed as primary candidates, the RrSG suggests the BC and RrSG candidates in the secondary list be prioritized first in order to distribute representation further across the GNSO. We recognize that there’s a possibility the secondary candidates will never be considered for selection to the Review Team, but if any SO/AC fails to fill its three slots, it would be best to broaden the scope of representation the GNSO is offering. Welcome your thoughts, as well as those from the SSC.

Final Selection of GNSO Candidates for ATRT3
by Susan Kawaguchi Nov. 12, 2018

Nov. 12, 2018

Dear SSC members, Following our call today regarding selection of GNSO candidates for the ATRT3, we are seeking additional input on the mailing list from those members who were unable to attend the call. *Please provide input no later than Thursday 8 November at 11:59 UTC*. Members on the call today agreed that the primary task of the SSC should be to fill vacancies in the existing list of candidates rather than seeking to make major changes to the full slate of candidates. Based on individual SSC member evaluation of the candidates, SG/C endorsements, and discussion, and supported by poll results, members favored filling the two vacancies for primary candidates as follows. Note that the order does not matter for primary candidates. All will serve on the ATRT3: *Name* *Type* *Region* *SG/C Affiliation* Wolfgang Kleinwaechter Existing 2017 candidate Europe NCUC (endorsement not possible in 2017 application round) *Patrick Kane* *New 2018 candidate, filling vacancy* *North America* *RySG (endorsed)* *Osvaldo Novoa* *New 2018 candidate, filling vacancy* *Latin America* *ISPCP (endorsed)* The SSC also discussed the one vacancy in the list of additional candidates. The additional candidates may be selected by SO/AC leaders if there are remaining slots to be filled and/or to ensure diversity. The members on the call suggested filling the vacancy as follows. *Note that members did not decide if the SSC should rank additional candidates in order of preference. If you have an opinion about whether and how to rank these candidates, please respond on list by EOD Thursday.* *Name* *Type* *Region* *SG/C Affiliation* Michael Karanicolas Existing 2017 candidate North America NCUC (endorsement not possible in 2017 application round) Adetola Sogbesan Existing 2017 candidate Africa BC (endorsement not possible in 2017 application round) Erica Varlese Existing 2017 candidate, updated application submitted in 2018 *North America* RySG (2018 updated application endorsed) *Jacques Blanc* *New 2018 candidate, filling vacancy* *Europe * *RrSG (endorsed)* *Please raise any objections to the list of primary and additional candidates by **Thursday 8 November at 11:59 UTC*. Kind regards, Susan Kawaguchi Chair SSC

Vice Chairs for SSC
by Susan Kawaguchi Nov. 12, 2018

Nov. 12, 2018

Thank you to Erica and Poncelet for volunteering for the Vice Chair position on the SSC. I would like to suggest that we accept both Erica and Poncelet as Vice Chairs. This would provide a broader coverage for the committee and distribute the workload. If there are no objections from the other members I am looking forward to working more closely with Erica and Poncelet on the SSC leadership team. Best regards, Susan

Notes and Action Items - GNSO SSC - 5 November 2018 at 17:00 UTC
by Emily Barabas Nov. 6, 2018

Nov. 6, 2018

Dear SSC members, Please find below notes and action items from today’s SSC meeting. These high-level notes are designed to help WG members navigate through the content of the call and are not a substitute for the recording, or the chat, which will be posted at: https://community.icann.org/x/MxW8BQ. Kind regards, Emily Notes: 1. Welcome/Agenda Review/SOI Updates 2. SSC Leadership 3. ATRT3 Selection 4. AOB Review of leadership - Susan to serve as interim chair with support on the call from participants for her to continue as permanent chair. - Maxim to step down as vice-chair ACTION ITEM: Send reminder: Take to list to confirm Susan as chair and seek volunteers for new vice-chair. Include Erica and Osvaldo on the email since they are temporarily not on the mailing list for the duration of the ATRT3 selection process. Maxim Alzoba (RySG): @Emily, please include Erica into e-mail of search for volunteers for vice-chair position (I believe she might be excluded from SSC list until the end of ATRT3 selection)? 3. ATRT3 Selection -- Begin deliberations on call and may need to finalize on list --Questions raised on selection process: -- Extent to which endorsements are taken into account: Not taken into account during original selection process. -- A couple of applications were received after the deadline. --Questions about overall composition. Is it just replacing gaps or considering the overall slate: Up to SSC -- Review of results. 5 responses received. - Suggestion to keep existing recommendations, of primary members and backups. Concern about the fact that some SSC members did not complete the survey. Can their responses be solicited? Responses are not official - it's a temperature-taking and a conversation starter. -- Could submit rankings as a proposal to list. -- Whether or not there is official support from relevant org should be taken into account. -- Difficult to provide responses for candidates that respondents were unfamiliar with. -- Last questions asked about rankings, if possible. -- The rankings were determined by the output from Survey Monkey. However, only to serve as a start to conversations. -- Any concerns about late applications? Did anyone exclude them? -- No concerns raised. -- First, seek to replace vacancies. Failing that, consider reviewing entire slate. Believes Wolfgang should be kept as primary candidate, though acknowledges that Wolfgang scored well anyway. -- Broad support to keep Wolfgang. Some support to only fill gaps. -- EOI states that priority given to endorsed candidates. -- Some believe it's helpful to take endorsement into account. Adetola for instance had endorsement from BC. -- There was no official way to endorse in the application in the 2017 application process. -- Two SG/Cs didn't complete survey? Emily Barabas: Poll responses received from: Frederic, Wolf-Ulrich, Maxim, Susan, and Rafik -- Taking a step back, there appears to be three main candidates and 5 alternates. All three main candidates are endorsed. Send to list for input? -- Were any previous candidates left out of the poll? -- No, all were included, in the event the entire slate needed to be reviewed. -- Of the original 7, 3 three needed to be replaced. All included, in addition of 2 candidates who were not selected. 6 new candidates. -- 2 primary and one backup then needed. -- Original 4 still in process: Emily Barabas: Remaining Primary Candidate: Wolfgang Kleinwaechter Emily Barabas: 2 primary vacancies Emily Barabas: Remaining Additional Candidates: Michael Karanicolas, Adetola Sogbesan, Erica Varlese Emily Barabas: 1 additional candidate vacancy -- Belief that original candidates should not be removed, since they've committed to volunteer. -- With Brian being unavailable, made sense to slot Patrick into that spot. -- Belief that management, multi stakeholder model experience is important, as registry exeperience. -- Propose as main: Wolfgang, Patrick, Osvaldo (order does not matter) -- Propose as backups: Michael, Adetola, Erica, Jacques (order does matter). -- Suggestion that need should be taken into account. -- Support for order as presented, though some concern that endorsed candidates are lower in list. Support for existing candidates to be ranked higher. -- Include asterisk that endorsements were not taken into account in original process. Maxim Alzoba (RySG): I suggest adding * - please note that in 2017 ATRT3 selection there were no requirement for the endorsment -- Can send rankings to list and ask them to order the backups. Guillemaut: in the initial selection Erica was behind Michael and Adetola. Emily Barabas: It will actually be the SO/AC leaders that select the final composition of the Review Team -- Send note to SSC about proposed selections, with both main and backup candidates in no particular order. -- Seek to wrap up selection and send to Council by end of week.

SSC Chair reconfirmation and seeking a volunteer for Vice Chair
by Emily Barabas Nov. 5, 2018

Nov. 5, 2018

Dear SSC members, Following ICANN63, the Annual General Meeting, it is time to reconfirm the leadership team of the SSC and fill any vacancies. Susan Kawaguchi is staying on the SSC in the coming year and has offered to continue serving as Chair. She received support from those on the call today, but the SSC wanted to confirm this over email, as well. If there are any objections to Susan remaining in this position for the coming year, please raise them on the list by EOD Friday 9 November. Maxim Alzoba has stepped down from the SSC as of the AGM. He has been serving as the SSC Vice Chair. Therefore, we are seeking a volunteer to serve as a new Vice Chair. If you are interested in serving as Vice Chair for the coming year, can you kindly respond on list? Kind regards, Emily Emily Barabas | Policy Manager ICANN | Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Numbers Email: emily.barabas(a)icann.org | Phone: +31 (0)6 84507976
