Notes & Action Items - SSC meeting - 8 April 2021 at 13:00 UTC
by Julie Hedlund April 8, 2021

April 8, 2021

Dear SSC members, Please find below notes and action items from today’s call on Thursday, 08 April 2021 at 13:00 UTC. These also are posted to the wiki at: https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/2021-04-08+GNSO+Standing+Selection…. Kind regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director Action Items: ACTION ITEM: Staff to initiate a 24-hour period of non-objection over the SSC mailing list. ACTION ITEM: SSC Leadership to submit a motion for GNSO Council consideration by the Motion and Document deadline of 12 April 2021. Notes: 1. SOI Updates: None provided. 2. Review of Poll Results – Second GNSO Rep to the CRG -- 7 responses. -- In terms of substantive questions: Q3 Overall rating: All candidates were rated highly with slight variations. Q4 Candidates understanding of IRP and role as ICANN accountability mechanism: All candidates rated highly with slight variations. Q5: Organizational and process experience: All candidates rated highly with slight variations. Q6: Awareness of diversity: Candidates were highly rated across the board. Q7: Comments: Just two comments -- one favored a candidate as being from the Contracted Parties House; second response rated all candidates highly but with a slight preference. 3. Discussion of Candidates – Second GNSO Rep to the CRG -- Pleased that we pursued this additional EOI period particularly the quality of the candidates received. -- Comment on having someone from the CPH with someone from the NCPH would be a good balance. -- We have excellent candidates. -- Trying to achieve two things: 1) someone who understands the GNSO; 2) someone who understands the accountability mechanisms. Donna clearly understands the GNSO – former vice-chair and chair of her stakeholder group. It would be good to have someone from the CPH and NCPH. -- Also aligned with the suggestion to have a balance between CPH and NCPH. -- Not adding an extra criteria, but taking this into consideration (that is, the balance between CPH and NCPH). -- One consideration could be what is the aggregate collection of skills and expertise the candidates together would provide. -- If we bring in Donna we bring in the other side of the house. This is why together Heather and Donna would be ideal. They also work well together. -- Consensus of the members on the call to put forward Donna as the candidate for the Council’s consideration. Next Steps: -- 24-hour period of non-objection over the SSC mailing list. -- Submit the motion for consideration at the April GNSO Council meeting – motion due on Monday, 12 April. 4. AOB: From Craig Schwartz -- Question: The briefing document on December 16, 2020 on SSC: Sentence in introduction of the slate of nominees being put forward to the Board – is the Board just approving, or is the Board approving some and not others? -- The process foresees that ICANN will facilitate but there is a role for the SOs/ACs and Board; last step is “final selection shall be subject to Board confirmation which shall not be unreasonably withheld.” -- See the guidance document at: community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?spaceKey=GSSCMO&title=2nd+Rep+to+…
