Notes:
Proposed Agenda
SSC Meeting – 07
December 2021
1. Welcome and
Introductions
2. Brief Review of
SSC Resources – see attached slides.
a.
Charter
b. Standard Selection Process
- Usually the GNSO Council will run the call
for volunteers and then the SSC reviews and evaluates the
candidates and make recommendations to the Council.
- Representation from each SG/C.
- Usually there are around three selection
processes a year.
- Decision is by full consensus; if full
consensus is not reached a rationale will have to be
provided to the GNSO Council.
- Process is to come to a preliminary agreement
on a call and then follow up with non-objection on the
list.
- Important to note: Processes are transparent
– by default and
unless otherwise directed by the
GNSO Council, the names of all applicants and all
documents received during the selection process shall be
considered public and published on the GNSO web-site
or other ICANN web-site as standard practice.
Deliberations can be private, but a rationale will have to
be provided.
- Standard Selection Process in Brief:
- Council typically designs and launches
the Expressions of Interest process, assigning the
selection to the SSC.
- An SSC wiki page provides all relevant
materials to support the SSC’s process, including list
of candidates and EOI materials. Staff confirms
affiliation stated by candidates, if applicable.
- SSC meets to review the assignment,
evaluation criteria.
- SSC members fill out poll individually to
organize thoughts on candidates.
- SSC meets to review poll results,
deliberate on candidates and come to preliminary
agreement of ranking of candidates.
- Consensus call is held by non-objection
on the mailing list after meeting.
- SSC submits recommendation to GNSO
Council for its consideration.
- Typically two-to-three meetings per selection
process.
- Question: What happens if a member of the SSC
is also a candidate for a selection process? Answer: It is
not a problem, but you will have to recuse yourself for
that particular selection process.
- The evaluation poll is not a vote with a firm
score, but includes ranking with an algorithm. The poll
does not dictate the results; there just needs to be a
clear rationale for why the SSC made its choice.
3. Volunteers to
Serve as SSC Chair and Vice Chair
- Not a sustained all-year commitment. Good
for someone who wants to be a new leader in an ICANN
group.
- Peter Akinremi has volunteered for Vice
Chair.
- Arinola Akinyemi has volunteered for Chair.
