Dear SSC members, Now that the membership of the SSC has been re-confirmed following the Annual General Meeting, it is time to re-confirm the leadership of the SSC. Susan (current Chair) and Maxim (current Vice-Chair) are remaining on the SSC for the current year. Julf, who was serving as an additional Vice-Chair, is no longer a NomCom representative on the GNSO Council, and is therefore no longer on the SSC. Erika Mann has is now the NomCom representative on the SSC. SSC members can choose to keep Susan as Chair and Maxim as Vice-Chair for the coming year or change the leadership team. During our call on Friday, members were supportive of keeping Susan and Maxim in their current leadership positions. If you have objections to this proposal, please raise them on list by end of day Friday 22 December. If there are no objections, the SSC will go ahead and reconfirm the current leadership.
