Dear SSC members, Thank you again for all the helpful comments to help SSC’s process improve in the future. As a follow-up to today’s call, the SSC has reached preliminary agreement to recommend Paul McGrady as the DNS Abuse Mitigation PDP 1 Chair. (See the candidate materials here<https://icann-community.atlassian.net/wiki/x/M4CLM>.) If you object to this recommendation, please respond on the mailing list no later than Tuesday, 17 February 2026, at 14:30 UTC. If no objections are received, the SSC will consider this to be a Full Consensus recommendation and submit it to the GNSO Council by 1 March 2026 with a motion for confirmation at its meeting on 11 March 2026. Happy Weekend to you all!
