Dear All, Please find below the notes and action items from today’s meeting. Marika will shortly send out an email detailing next steps and a Doodle poll about the meeting tentatively scheduled for tomorrow. Kind regards, Emily --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Notes: 1. Welcome - As a reminder, the SSC operates by full consensus. As the full group is not in attendance on today's call, any outcomes of this call must be confirmed with the full group. - For this nomination, staff has requested that this group considers those candidates who have requested GNSO endorsement. Therefore, only those seeking GNSO endorsement are listed in the survey. The SSC may choose to consider those candidates who requested endorsement from other SOs and ACs. - The GNSO Council has asked SSC to provide recommendations in time for the 20 April meeting. The document deadline for the Council Meeting is 10 April. Once the GNSO Council receives list of endorsed candidates, they must consider the nominations and can choose to adopt them. The adopted list of candidates then goes to the SOs and ACs for consideration. The 25 April deadline is for candidates to be nominated from the different SOs and ACs. - If it is not possible to make these deadlines, the group may want to provide a rationale for requesting additional time. - The top three candidates automatically get a seat on the Review Team. The group may want to provide a ranking for candidates 4 through 7. - While the top three candidates are guaranteed slots, the others may also be considered, weighing for diversity and other considerations. 2. Review Survey Results - Survey results are based on scores to the following questions: -- Question 3: Based on the candidate's materials or your own personal experience, does the candidate appear to qualify as a GNSO endorsed candidate? -- Question 4: Does the candidate's application clearly demonstrate that the candidate has the necessary expertise and competence to do the work? -- Question 5: Based on your assessment of the responsibilities, skills, expertise and desired attributes as outlined in the call for volunteers, please rank these candidates in order of preference (1 being most preferred candidate, 14 being the least preferred candidate) 3. Confirm Next Steps & next meeting (if needed) - Suggestion: Put aside the top 3, as these are the clear top choices. Continue the conversation on ranking candidates 4 through 7 on this call, share on the mailing list to continue the conversation. If no consensus on the mailing list is reached, leverage the next scheduled meeting to work towards consensus. - Candidates 1-3: Susan Kawaguchi, Erika Mann, Stephanie Perrin - Candidates 4-7: 4) Volker Greimann, 5) Marc Anderson, 6) Stefania Milan, 7) Timothy Chen - Staff will send out notes, recordings, and summary email about the outcome of this call. - A call is tentatively scheduled for tomorrow. We will go ahead with this call unless there is clear agreement that there is no need to go ahead with this call. Staff will circulate a Doodle poll and will make a determination about whether to have a call by 13:00 UTC tomorrow. An additional call is scheduled for Monday in case further discussion is needed. - Staff will work on a draft motion in parallel.
