Action Items and Notes GNSO GAC Liaison candidate evaluation on Monday, 15 July 2024, 18:00 UTC [Action Items] * GNSO Support Staff to send a Consensus Call email to the SSC list with the preliminary decision to put forward Sebastien Ducos as the GNSO GAC Liaison nominee, with Sophie Hey as alternate, and ask for non-objection in 48 hours. [Notes] 1. Welcome & SOIs - N/A 2. GNSO GAC Liaison Candidates Evaluation a. Review Survey Tool - There were 2 candidates: Sebastien Ducos, Sophie Hey. - The survey tool received 5 responses from the SSC members, but the tool is only a guide for the discussion, not to make a determination. - See attached file (pdf) for survey results - Ranking from the survey results: 1. Sebastien Ducos 2. Sophie Hey b. Suggested Candidate * - Both candidates were strong and the result spoke for itself. * - One of the deciding factors that SSC had identified was balancing time commitment when also involved in and selected for another group (Sophie Hey: PHR Group nominee) * - Sebastien Ducos was highly praised for his skills, background, and contribution to the internet community; No objections and all members were satisfied with the result. * - If possible and/or an alternate was needed, a suggestion was raised to add Sophie Hey as an alternate – no significant concerns were raised and the Team decided to add an alternate as a suggestion/advice to the GNSO Council. c. Timing of Consensus Call & GNSO Council Confirmation - If no objections, a motion will proceed for the GNSO Council to vote at the 8 August Council Meeting - Plenty of time as the GAC Liaison’s role/activity does not go into effect until the Annual General Meeting (AGM) 2024. - Staff to send a Consensus Call email to the SSC list with the preliminary decision to put forward Sebastien Ducos as the nominee, with Sophie Hey as alternate, and ask for non-objection in 48 hours. (~17 July). ACTION ITEM: GNSO Support Staff to send a Consensus Call email to the SSC list with the preliminary decision to put forward Sebastien Ducos as the GNSO GAC Liaison nominee, with Sophie Hey as alternate, and ask for non-objection in 48 hours. 3. Next Steps for PHR Nominees - The current list (below) went through without objections and now is in motion - A placeholder motion was submitted on 8 July and now amended (15 July) with 7 nominees and an alternate for the GNSO Council’s consideration (in the order of ranking): 1. Akinmoyeje Benjamin (AF) 2. Julf (Johan) Helsingius (EU) 3. Sophie Hey (EU) 4. Tony Holmes (EU) 5. Anil Jain (AP) 6. Caleb Ogundele (NA) 7. Marie Pattullo (EU) *Hector Ariel Manoff as alternate, if the need were to arise - The names were submitted in the order of ranking just in case there are more than 21 candidates from each SO/AC to help make the choice/selection simpler. - Technically, the SSC’s selection process for PHR is now complete and no further work is needed from SSC on the PHR candidate selection process. However, once the nominations are received, each SO/AC Chair now needs to review the list of nominated applicants for final selection. 4. AOB - There are no more meetings scheduled for SSC in the immediate future as there are no further selection processes planned.

SSC Call on Monday, July 15 - Chairing duties
by Karen Day July 10, 2024

July 10, 2024

Hello Segunfunmi, I hope this note finds you well. I'm writing to give you advance notice that I am going to have to recuse myself from chairing the SSC call next week and to ask that you step in to take my place. With the only 2 candidates for the role both coming from my stakeholder group (RySG), it would not be appropriate for me to chair this call. The RySG has submitted both of these candidates with full faith that either would be terrific in the role and will support whatever candidate SSC puts forward for a consensus call. You needn't have any worries about how to chair the call, as our brilliant staff will lead you through the process. I would simply suggest joining the zoom meeting 5-10 minutes early to confer with the Julies and Saewon. If you are able to confirm to that you can take the lead next week, I would greatly appreciate it. Let me know if you have any questions or concerns. I'm happy to help however I can. All the best, Karen Karen L.

Kind regards, Julie H. and Saewon. Action Items and Notes Pilot Holistic Review candidates evaluation #2 on Monday, 08 July 2024, 1800 UTC [Action Items] 1. GNSO Support Staff will generate the consensus call email with the list of candidates in alphabetical order, as opposed to the ranking order, with Hector Ariel Manoff submitted as the alternate. 2. GNSO Support Staff to send a meeting invitation for the GAC Liaison selection process [COMPLETE] and a google spreadsheet to review the candidates. [Notes] 1. Welcome and SOI Updates - N/A 2. Pilot Holistic Review GNSO Nominees a. Review New Ranking Tool – see attached results (2 attachments in pdf: Bar Graph with Ranking and Summarized Results) from the Survey Monkey Review Tool - Only 3 responses were submitted by the SSC members. - The responses presented the following list in ranking order: 1 - Anil Jain (AP) 1- Sophie Hey (EU) 3 – Tony Holmes (EU) 4 – Akinmoyeje Benjamin (AF) 5 – Julf (Johan) Helsingius (EU) 6 – Caleb Ogundele (NA) 7 – Marie Pattullo (EU) - Following a consensus call for 48 hours after this meeting and upon Full Consensus, the SSC will submit its recommendation to the GNSO Council in the form of a motion (placeholder first without names). - Discussions points: - A member from IPC suggested that the lack of responses (3 only) may not be useful for this call/decision. - Meanwhile, many members on the call agreed to the above result/list, but the geographic consideration/diversity balance were brought up again by the members. - The Chair/Support Staff urged that everyone on the call speak up to ensure the consensus by non-objection. - The survey results #1 and #2 were compared to, and though the diversity factor seemed to have progressed, this new list, yet again, did not represent all regions, this time excluding any representation from the LAC region. - The IPC member suggested that in order to consider the LAC representation, Hector Ariel Manoff be a replacement for Julf Helsingius, Caleb Ogundele, or Akinmoyeje Benjamin, also when considering the SG/C representation (BC•IPC). However, the Support Staff reminded the members that the SG/C representation does not have to be considered in this case, but that the candidates are nominated and considered as individuals/skills-based. - An NCSG Rep. and a BC Rep. agreed to the above outcome and thought this was a wider representation, while the Chair and an RrSG Rep. suggested maybe replacing no.’s 5 (Julf Helsingius) and 6 (Caleb Ogundele) for Hector Ariel Manoff. - 2 Votes were taken place during the call: - Vote #1 (If to replace, who should be replaced): 1 – Keep original list above as it is a good geographical representation: 1 vote 2 – Replace Julf Helsingius (#5, EU) with Hector Ariel Manoff: 3 votes 3 – Replace Caleb Ogundele (#6, NA) with Hector Ariel Manoff: 1 vote (also, when considering the less experienced factor) - Vote #2 (Determining Julf Helsingius to be replaced, should the original list just remain, or the replacement should proceed): 1 – Replacement to proceed: 1 vote 2 – Original list to remain: 4 votes b. FINAL Suggested List of PHR Nominees - Discussion points: - Procedurally, if 7 nominees do not reach a Full Consensus (even 1 objection) within the 48-hour consensus call, the PHR selection process has to start from the beginning. - A suggestion to put Hector Ariel Manoff forward as an alternate (#8 or just in case someone withdraws, etc.) was raised, and even though no alternates are put forward to the Council during the process (or not even an option as at the end, the Council simply confirms the final 7 nominees), the members supported Hector Ariel Manoff to be the alternate candidate, if a need for 1 candidate/slot were to arise (e.g., duplicated GAC Liaison candidate) - The members agreed that there were many qualified candidates and that is why it was difficult to reach a decision. - The final list agreed to is as follows: 1 - Anil Jain (AP) 1- Sophie Hey (EU) 3 – Tony Holmes (EU) 4 – Akinmoyeje Benjamin (AF) 5 – Julf (Johan) Helsingius (EU) 6 – Caleb Ogundele (NA) 7 – Marie Pattullo (EU) *Hector Ariel Manoff as alternate, if the need were to arise c. Timing of Consensus Call & GNSO Council Confirmation - The GNSO Support Staff shared with the members that a 48-hour consensus call would take place, with an email sent to the members including the above list of nominees (7 in total) presented in alphabetical order, as opposed to the ranking order. - As agreed to in the discussion, Hector Ariel Manoff will be submitted as an alternate to the GNSO Council. [Action Item] GNSO Support Staff will generate the consensus call email with the list of candidates in alphabetical order, as opposed to the ranking order, with Hector Ariel Manoff submitted as the alternate. 3. AOB - The GAC Liaison selection process meeting invitation and google spreadsheet to review the candidates will be sent out soon. [Action Item] GNSO Support Staff to send a meeting invitation for the GAC Liaison selection process [COMPLETE] and a google spreadsheet to review the candidates.
