Dear all, As you will recall the CSC chair and vice-chair nomination was on the agenda during last meeting. As you may also recall two options were presented with respect to timing of the chair and vice-chair selection. Option 1. The CSC re-confirms Lars -Johan and Brett until the 1 October meeting, with understanding that at the September meeting it needs to appoint a new chair (and possibly new vice-chair) Option 2. The CSC starts the nomination for new chair and vice-chair after meeting 58 and appointment the chair and vice-chair at meeting 59. Please advise which option you prefer (Option 1 or Option 2) to the list by 3 March 2022 23.59 UTC. Background. According to the internal procedure Chair and Vice-Chair appointment the Chair and Vice-Chair are appointed at the March meeting (Internal Procedure: https://www.icann.org/en/system/files/files/csc-appointment-procedure-04nov1... ) The current leadership team can not continue for another year: Lars- Johan has to step down on 1 October 2022 as he will have served 3 consecutive terms by then. Also note that Brett will have reached the end of his second term and may have to step down if he is not re-appointed.. Also note that Gaurav and Laxmi will have reached the end of their terms. Note that one of the items the Effectiveness Review Team has discussed is who (members and liaisons or only members?) should be eligible as chair and vice-chair. Kind regards, Bart
