Dear Colleagues,
As promised during our call on the 5th, I was able to reach out to other stakeholders from Nigeria with respect to the candidate (John Gbadamosi).
I was able to confirm his membership of the NCUC and NCSG. I was also able to reach out to the Outgone President of ISOC Nigeria who currently is a BOT member of ISOC global during whose tenure he served as a Co-chair of a Working Group, and he gave a good recommendation of his ability to perform creditably in the newly sought role.
Additionally, I did reach out to the immediate past Vice Chair of the SSC (Peter Akinyemi) who is also knows him and believes he would do well in the role.
I hope this helps.
Kind regards,
Arinola Akinyemi(Ms) CEO, DigiSphere Limited &Omar Ventures Limited Founder, DigiSphere Center for Digital Creativity(DCDC)

Kind regards,
Caitlin, Emily and Julie
*Action Items:*
1. *GNSO Secretariat staff to ask Tech Support to update the permissions for the candidate materials page.* 2. *Staff to determine whether SSC members can skip questions in the candidate poll: DONE – Questions can be skipped.* 3. *Staff to open the candidate poll on Wednesday, 05 July.* 4. *SSC members to complete the poll by COB Tuesday, 11 July.*
*Notes: *
*Proposed Agenda *
*SSC Meeting *
*05 July 2023*
1. Welcome and SOI Updates
- Anne Aikman-Scalese <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Anne+Aikman-Scalese+SOI> – GNSO Co-Liaison to the SubPro IRT - Arinola Akinyemi <https://community.icann.org/display/gnsosoi/Arinola+Akinyemi+SOI> – Fellowship Program Mentor
2. Review of upcoming SSC assignment and selection process:
a. See: GNSO Alternate Non-Registry Liaison to the CSC <https://community.icann.org/display/GSSC/GNSO+Alternate+Non-Registry+Liaison...> and below.
Overview/Questions:
- CSC has decided to allow Alternate members. - There were some issues with Milton Mueller missing meetings so there was identification of a gap (later established that there was a technical issue with Milton). - GNSO Council assigned to SSC. - Same process as SSC used for selection of Milton, so not a new process. - Term doesn’t start until October 1 (this is a CSC determination, not Council), but good to get the process completed as soon as possible. - Put a placeholder motion on the July Council meeting agenda and fill in the name when the selection process is complete – also could be moved/deferred to the August agenda. - There was one candidate – John Gbadamosi – call for EOIs ended on 21 June. - Question: With only one candidate should we extend the call for EOIs? Answer: It’s not surprising that there was only one candidate – this is a position that requires specific skills and experience. Not likely that an extension would generate more candidates and, in any case, that is a Council decision to make. - Question: Once the GNSO Council adopts the selection, can that person start attending meetings? Answer: Per the CSC the Alternate Liaisons’ terms start 01 October. - Question: Is this a process to select the Liaison? Answer: The current Liaison is Milton – his term is not expiring and he has indicated that he wants to stay in the position; this selection process is for the Alternate Liaison.
b. Preview candidate evaluation poll.
- The poll is the same as we used for Milton. - The candidate materials are on a closed page (SSC members only) --- we will take the action to check to make sure you all have access. - Question: If we don’t know the candidate and so can’t answer a question can we skip it? Answer: Staff will test and see if questions can be skipped (DONE—they can). - The poll is brief so we think about a week should be enough time.
c. Next Steps: See Key Dates below.
- Note that next week’s meeting to review the candidate poll results and make the selection is Wednesday, 12 July at 1400 UTC. - If the SSC agrees on a selection there will be a 24-hour period on the list for non-objection and then the motion for Council consideration will be updated with the name. - The meeting time does not conflict with the SubPro IRT.
*Key Dates:*
21 June 2023: Deadline to submit Expressions of Interest
27 June 2023: SSC notified of new assignment
05 July 2023: SSC meeting to review assignment/preview poll; launch poll on candidate
