Dear SSC Members, Please find attached the survey results for SSC’s upcoming selection process – GNSO’s nomination of the RoR CCG Members (2): * Tha “Data_All” file presents the ranking in p.7, where I have marked in yellow the overall rankings and in blue the Councilor rankings (only the top 3 and 2) * As always, the “Responses_All” file presents individual responses with comments to provide a bit more context for the discussions/selection process and like last time, the individual responders have been redacted. A few things to note from the survey result: * Though the rankings indicate the winner(s), the detailed result—specifically the responses within the “Councilor” section—may be subject to discussion. * While we received 8 responses, 1 submission came in after the deadline (as I had closed the poll later). This is shared for your reference only and should not affect the final decision, as the survey itself does not determine the outcome. * Once again, please note that the survey results are intended to support discussion, and the final decision may be adjusted following tomorrow’s meeting. See you all tomorrow!

Kindly complete the survey using the following link: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/5QBD2X8 The list of candidates and relevant materials, including the Draft Charter, can be found on wiki here: https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/W4AdG When conducting the survey, please bear in mind that, according to the Council Motion for RoR CCG—pending confirmation by the Council this Thursday, 14 August—at least one (1) of the two (2) members must be a GNSO Council Member. Kindly refer to the motion here<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/gnsocouncilmeetings/pages/...>. The pending “Resolved” clause from the motion is as follows: 1. The GNSO Council directs the Standing Selection Committee to promptly proceed with the identification and selection of two (2) GNSO member participants of the CCG, at least one of whom should be a GNSO council member, for the approval of the GNSO Council. In making its selections the SSC should bear in mind all aspects of the Charter, and including the timing expectations for this work and the expectations that individual members: * Have sufficient expertise and understanding of the ICANN reviews to participate in the discussions; * Commit to actively participate in the activities of the CCG on an ongoing basis; and * Where appropriate, solicit and communicate the views and concerns of individuals in the group that nominates them. Among the current candidates, there are three (3) Council Members, and they are: Osvaldo Novoa, Lawrence Olawale-Roberts, and Hong-Fu (Tom) Meng. This information is also available for you within the survey. As per usual, kindly note that the survey is intended as a discussion guide and not as a means of making a final determination. However, your participation is highly valued, as your input will provide helpful insights into the views of SSC members and support the decision-making process when the SSC convenes on Wednesday, 20 August 2025 at 20:00 UTC, to discuss the candidates. Should you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to reach out.
