Dear all, As a reminder, if you have any objections to the SSC conducting a charter review as outlined below, please send an email to the mailing list no later than end of day today, Friday 4 March. Kind regards, Julie and Emily From: Arinola Akinyemi <jolakin69@gmail.com> Date: Friday, 25 February 2022 at 15:35 To: "gnso-ssc@icann.org" <gnso-ssc@icann.org> Cc: Emily Barabas <emily.barabas@icann.org>, Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@icann.org> Subject: [Ext] PROPOSED CHARTER REVIEW Dear SSC members, The leadership team has noticed that few questions have come up recently about the SSC charter that didn’t have clear answers. The charter has not been reviewed and revised since 2018, and it may be time to look at whether some updates are needed. If the SSC agrees that review and revision are appropriate, we can request a charter review of the GNSO Council (next steps outlined below). To get the conversation started, the leadership team has made a few notes in the current version of the charter here [docs.google.com]<https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/docs.google.com/document/d/1KxpNrhmHhygx5...>, commenting on items that the SSC may want to review and potentially propose revising. If the SSC agrees that these and potentially other items should be considered further, we can take the following steps: · SSC leadership notifies Council leadership that it would like to initiate a charter review · After confirming with Council that there are no concerns, Council leadership responds that the SSC can proceed · SSC reviews the charter and proposes revisions, then submits the updated charter to Council · Council votes to approve the updated charter If there are any objections to going forward with a charter review, please respond on the list by Friday 4 March. Absent any objections, the leadership team will reach out to Council leadership to start the process.
