Dear SSC members,

 

Following our call today regarding selection of GNSO candidates for the ATRT3, we are seeking additional input on the mailing list from those members who were unable to attend the call. Please provide input no later than Thursday 8 November at 11:59 UTC

 

Members on the call today agreed that the primary task of the SSC should be to fill vacancies in the existing list of candidates rather than seeking to make major changes to the full slate of candidates. Based on individual SSC member evaluation of the candidates, SG/C endorsements, and discussion, and supported by poll results, members favored filling the two vacancies for primary candidates as follows. Note that the order does not matter for primary candidates. All will serve on the ATRT3: 

 

 

Name

Type

Region

SG/C Affiliation

 

Wolfgang Kleinwaechter

Existing 2017 candidate

Europe

NCUC (endorsement not possible in 2017 application round)

 

Patrick Kane

New 2018 candidate, filling vacancy

North America

RySG (endorsed)

 

Osvaldo Novoa

 

New 2018 candidate, filling vacancy

Latin America

ISPCP (endorsed)

 

The SSC also discussed the one vacancy in the list of additional candidates. The additional candidates may be selected by SO/AC leaders if there are remaining slots to be filled and/or to ensure diversity. The members on the call suggested filling the vacancy as follows. Note that members did not decide if the SSC should rank additional candidates in order of preference. If you have an opinion about whether and how to rank these candidates, please respond on list by EOD Thursday.
