+1 – word for word! Marie From: Gnso-ssc <gnso-ssc-bounces@icann.org> On Behalf Of Carlton Samuels Sent: Wednesday, August 12, 2020 6:10 PM To: Johan Helsingius <julf@julf.com> Cc: gnso-ssc@icann.org; gnso-secs@icann.org Subject: Re: [Gnso-ssc] ICANN GNSO SSC wake-up Just realized I didn't respond to this. I cannot see a complication or conflict of interest from Julf's full participation. In my view his full participation is to be expected. Carlton ============================== Carlton A Samuels Mobile: 876-818-1799 Strategy, Process, Governance, Assessment & Turnaround ============================= On Thu, Aug 6, 2020 at 2:02 PM Johan Helsingius <julf@julf.com<mailto:julf@julf.com>> wrote: Dear Standing Selection Committee members, As you might have noticed, the GNSO Council has tasked the SSC with recommending a candidate for the incoming GNSO Liaison to the GAC. The call for volunteers opened at the end of July and will close 1 September. We should schedule an SSC meeting in the second half of August to go over the assignment and agree on the selection process. The staff will soon send out a doodle poll to find a suitable time - I am aware that a lot of people, especially in Europe, might still be on vacation, but hopefully enough of us are around. As I am sure you are aware that we are actually looking for a successor for me in the GAC liaison role, I am also asking anyone who feels my involvement is a conflict of interest or are uncomfortable with me being involved to speak up, either to the whole SSC or confidentially to Carton or the staff. I do remember that when I was selected 3 years ago, I was a member of the SCC and recuse myself - but appointed the then-current holder of the position, Carlos Raúl Gutiérrez, to represent me instead.
