Dear SSC members,

Per our call today, please find the google spreadsheet that contains the votes during the call and ranking that follows: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1P9XZ3hd0J6GfaOpStV92zSpWDkqXwl7rmatNfwS07uU/edit?usp=sharing

Some points to note from the spreadsheet ranking:

• The order of names (No. in A column) is in the order of ranking from today’s call.
• The Top 9 (until Ranking 7) have 3 votes, and the Top 13 (until Ranking 10) have 2 votes. (I could not cut the Top 10 and/or the Top 12 due to the identical number of votes)
• The column J in red shows the poll results to compare to: In ranking 7’s, Marie Pattullo overlaps with the Poll result; In ranking 10’s there are no overlapping candidates.
• Mark Datysgeld that ranked 3^rd in the Poll Result is excluded in the call ranking today based on the discussions (i.e., previous SSC appointee)

Other than the spreadsheet with rankings to help the members with the decision, kindly find the attached survey results, that were also shared in the meeting, for your reference.

Below, you will also find the notes/details from the meeting to help you in your decision-making process.

Kind regards,

Julie and Saewon.

• The SSC Chair pointed out that Mark Datysgeld was one of the last SSC members, if a need to consider when allowing for different people to participate.
• Geographic criteria does not seem to be considered within this result and may need a different approach
• Any term limits for these candidates? – No. Subject to the duration of the project as it will be more like a PDP/WG.
