All, Please accept my sincere apologies for missing the deadline for the poll. I’ll be on the call later but for transparency, my responses would be: Q3: experience, skills, and attributes necessary to serve as the GNSO nominated mentor? Q4 - Hago: Unclear. Little concrete detail of involvement/experience in ICANN processes. Given the virtual format (likely to continue for some time) I’m also unsure that his written engagement with fellows would be sufficient. Q5 – Dasara: Don’t think that mentorship should be a way to “increase engagement in ICANN” and also not sure of level of past/current practical engagement, but overall seems to know the wider ecosystem and has good, clear communication style. Language skills may also be wider (positive). Q6 – Farrell: All positive – including engagement, languages and communication skills. Q7 – Vivek: Again all positive. Especially appreciate professional track record in explaining/raising awareness about ICANN to wider world. Attributes? Q8 - Hago: Some responses seem to be cut and paste. Not sure requisite skills demonstrated. Q9 – Dasara: Clear and comprehensible responses. Q10 – Farrell: Ticks all boxes. Q11 – Vivek: Again, I see only positives. Q12: rank in order of preference with regards to experience, skills, attributes requirements outlined in the call for volunteers (1 being most preferred candidate) Q8 - Hago: 4 Q9 – Dasara: 3 Q10 – Farrell: 2 (Concerned about time to engage given Council duties) Q11 – Vivek: 1 (Track record of practically working with non-ICANN world tips the scales for me) Marie From: Gnso-ssc <gnso-ssc-bounces@icann.org> On Behalf Of Emily Barabas Sent: Wednesday, January 6, 2021 2:40 PM To: gnso-ssc@icann.org Subject: [Gnso-ssc] Proposed Agenda and Poll Results - SSC meeting - 7 January 2020 at 13:00 UTC Dear all, Please find below the proposed agenda for the SSC call tomorrow, Thursday 7 January 2020 at 13:00 UTC for 60 minutes: 1.
