Just realized I didn't respond to this. I cannot see a complication or conflict of interest from Julf's full participation. In my view his full participation is to be expected.

Dear Standing Selection Committee members,
As you might have noticed, the GNSO Council has tasked the SSC with recommending a candidate for the incoming GNSO Liaison to the GAC. The call for volunteers opened at the end of July and will close 1 September.
We should schedule an SSC meeting in the second half of August to go over the assignment and agree on the selection process. The staff will soon send out a doodle poll to find a suitable time - I am aware that a lot of people, especially in Europe, might still be on vacation, but hopefully enough of us are around.
As I am sure you are aware that we are actually looking for a successor for me in the GAC liaison role, I am also asking anyone who feels my involvement is a conflict of interest or are uncomfortable with me being involved to speak up, either to the whole SSC or confidentially to Carton or the staff. I do remember that when I was selected 3 years ago, I was a member of the SCC and recuse myself - but appointed the then-current holder of the position, Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez, to represent me instead.
Julf
