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

Poll Results - ATRT3 candidates
by Emily Barabas Nov. 5, 2018

Nov. 5, 2018

Dear SSC members, Thanks to those who participated in the poll regarding candidates for the ATRT3. We received 5 responses. A summary of the poll results is attached. As you review the data, note that a lower score for questions 3 and 4 indicates that respondents felt that the candidate met qualification criteria (yes = 1 and no = 2, therefore a score close to 1 indicates most respondents responded favorably). For question 5 and 6, a higher score means that more respondents ranked the candidate favorably. We will walk through these results on the call today. In addition, the following comments were received, which are not included in the attached summary report. Maxim Alzoba: Note: we have to take into account endorsement of SO/ACs when gibing priority to the applicants to fill the vacant seats. Wolf-Ulrich Knoben: Please accept ranking in both tables as follows: 1. Osvaldo Novoa, 2. Wolfgang Kleinwaechter, equal ranking for the other applicants. The survey doesn't allow for this, but it's my intention Frederic Guillemaut: Endorsement is a 'plus' Kind regards, Emily From: Emily Barabas <emily.barabas(a)icann.org> Date: Monday, 5 November 2018 at 10:22 To: "wolf-ulrich.knoben(a)t-online.de" <wolf-ulrich.knoben(a)t-online.de>, "pileleji(a)ymca.gm" <pileleji(a)ymca.gm>, "rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com" <rafik.dammak(a)gmail.com> Cc: "gnso-ssc(a)icann.org" <gnso-ssc(a)icann.org> Subject: Re: [Ext] AW: [Gnso-ssc] Reminder - ATRT3 replacement candidates - Deadline Monday 5 Nov at 12:00 UTC Hi Wolf-Ulrich, Thanks for your question and apologies for my slow response. It appears that your message got stuck in my spam filter and I am just seeing it now. Staff will provide a spreadsheet of the responses to each poll question in advance of the meeting. In the poll, SSC members are asked to rank the candidates in question 5 based on skills and experience criteria listed in the call for volunteers/EOI and in question 6 based on desired attributes criteria listed in the call for volunteers/EOI. The poll includes specific bullet points related to criteria for skills/experience and desired attributes. SSC members will have an opportunity to discuss the overall rank of the candidates on the call today, taking into account poll results and considerations related to diversity. A note to the group -- Wolf-Ulrich is serving as an alternate for Osvaldo Novoa for this selection process because Osvaldo is a candidate for the ATRT3. Also, a reminder to all to please fill out the survey by 12:00 UTC. At this time, we have only received 2 responses.

The main goal of the selection exercise is to fill the vacant positions. However, in doing so, the SSC may decide to adjust the overall composition of the slate of candidates to ensure balance of skills and representation. As Marika noted below, there was no process for SG/Cs to endorse specific candidates in the 2017 application process. It is up to SSC members to determine the extent to which they would like to take SG/C endorsements from the 2018 application round into account. Endorsements are listed on the wiki and in the poll. The poll is just the first step in this selection process and members can use it as a tool to organize their thoughts and record preferences, as well as note additional comments and questions.

I know this is a busy time for many of you with ICANN63 coming up, but this will need to be quite a quick process with action required on your part in the next two weeks (details below). Please fill out this doodle [doodle.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__doodle.com_poll_wqfawm…> to help us schedule an SSC meeting to complete this process in early November and look out for additional emails with instructions about evaluating the candidates prior to the meeting. Last year the SSC went through a selection process to recommend candidates for the ATRT3 (details here<https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/ATRT3>). The start of the ATRT3 was then delayed to allow for conversations and public consultation on the schedule of ICANN reviews (see public comments on short-term [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…> and long-term [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…> options to adjust the timeline of reviews). ICANN Org is now recommending to the Board [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2…> that that ATRT3 begin in January 2019. The GNSO has been asked to finalize its slate of candidates by 31 October, but we are working to find a little more flexibility in this deadline. Some time has passed since the original call for volunteers, and the GNSO is now asking the SSC to ensure that the GNSO has a full slate of candidates to put forward. At a minimum, two of the original primary candidates and at least one of the additional candidates will need to be replaced: Original primary candidates: Wolfgang Kleinwaechter (NCUC): Available Brian Cute (RySG): Replacement needed Stéphane Van Gelder (RySG): Replacement needed Original secondary candidates: Dr. Tatiana Tropina (NCUC): Replacement needed Michael Karanicolas (NCUC): Available Adetola Sogbesan (BC): Available Erica Varlese (RySG): Available The SSC may also choose to re-evaluate the full slate of secondary candidates in light of new applications to ensure balance of skills and experience in the pool of candidates. An Expression of Interest is now open [gnso.icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__gnso.icann.org_en_anno…> with a deadline of 30 October. As applications are received, they will be shared with you to review. You will be asked to fill in a SurveyMonkey poll to evaluate the candidates as soon as the deadline has passed. The SSC will then complete the selection process in a meeting scheduled in early November (please complete the doodle [doodle.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__doodle.com_poll_wqfawm…> to assist with scheduling).

Alternate for ATRT3 Selection
by Erica Varlese Oct. 24, 2018

Oct. 24, 2018

Hi all, I'll be replacing Maxim Alzoba as the RySG representative after Barcelona when he takes his seat as a GNSO Councilor. I'm very much looking forward to working with you all. As per the Charter, I wanted to reach out to the group regarding the upcoming ATRT3 review process. As I'm one of the candidates, I will need to abstain from the process to avoid a conflict of interest. Fortunately, Maxim has offered to replace me during this process and I would like to suggest him as my alternate for the ATRT3 selection. We are in the process of asking the RySG Executive Committee for a letter to confirm their support of Maxim. If there's anything I'm missing or anything additional we need to finalize Maxim as my alternate, please do let me know. Much appreciated, Erica Erica Varlese | .blog Shepherd @ KKWT Email: erica(a)my.blog Skype: evarlese

New SSC Representative of RySG (Starting Oct 2018)
by Maxim Alzoba July 26, 2018

July 26, 2018

Dear Colleagues, As you may know, I was elected as a RySG GNSO Councilor and will take my seat at ICANN 63 in Barcelona. RySG selected the new representative Erica Varlese to take the seat at ICANN63 (Oct 2018), when I will step down, and until then, to “shadow” me over the next three months. I will continue to represent the RySG and serve as SSC Vice Chair, and this “soft transition” will allow Erica to get fully up to speed. RySG asked to add Erica to gnso-ssc(a)icann.org. Sincerely Yours, Maxim Alzoba Special projects manager, International Relations Department, FAITID m. +7 916 6761580(+whatsapp) skype oldfrogger Current UTC offset: +3.00 (.Moscow)
