Continue deliberations on questions identified, as well as identification of any other questions that may need to be addressed: a. GNSO Chair - The Bylaws provide that the GNSO Chair or another person may be designated. What criteria should be used to decide whether another person should be designated? Is the GNSO Chair the default designation or fallback choice if no other person can be designated? b. Qualifying Criteria - If another person should be designated, what are qualifying criteria? Process to review/evaluate qualified candidates? Who should be considered qualified? Should the call for volunteers be limited (for example to GNSO Councilors) or open call? Can a general process for appointments/nominations be followed? c. Alternate Rep - Is there a need to consider an alternate in case the representative is not available or make an interim appointment should the designated representative step down? d. Term and Renewal What should be the term for the representative? Annual certification is required by the Bylaws but that does not necessarily need to align with the term. Is there a term limit? What should be the renewal requirements? What is the timeline for the selection / approval process? 5.
