[rssac-caucus] Nomination Period: RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee
by Carlos Reyes June 2, 2018

June 2, 2018

Hello, RSSAC Caucus. It is time to begin the selection process for the Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee. Please refer to this page for more information about the Nominating Committee. I have also copied below the relevant sections from “RSSAC000v3: Operational Procedures” for your reference. With this notice, a one-month nomination period via this distribution list is now open. Nominations or self-nominations will be accepted and require a second. Nominees must then accept or decline their nomination and may provide a statement with more context for their decision. The nomination period will close at 23:59 UTC on 2 July. The RSSAC will then consider the slate of candidates at its 10 July teleconference. As you may recall, the RSSAC appointed Alejandro Acosta to this role in 2015 and re-appointed him in 2016 and 2017. Per RSSAC000v3, Alejandro is ineligible for re-appointment in this selection process. The RSSAC Co-Chairs appreciate your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact the RSSAC Co-Chairs or support staff with any questions or concerns. Best, Carlos Reyes on behalf of Tripti Sinha and Brad Verd, RSSAC Co-Chairs 1.2.6.5 Outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee is specified in the ICANN Bylaws. The term for the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee shall be one year. A person may only serve for three consecutive terms. The eligibility status for a previous liaison is reset one year after having stepped down. The RSSAC must elect the outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee according to the outgoing RSSAC liaisons election procedure (Section 1.2.6.8) from the members of the RSSAC Caucus. The outgoing RSSAC Liaison to the ICANN Nominating Committee acts as a conduit between the RSSAC and the ICANN Nominating Committee reporting on matters that need to be coordinated or communicated between the two bodies. The role requires discretion, management skills, and considerable time commitment. 1.2.6.8 Outgoing RSSAC Liaisons Election Procedure One month prior to each election, qualified nominees will be accepted for the outgoing liaison position and announced on the RSSAC distribution list. During the meeting that includes election of an outgoing liaison position on its announced agenda, additional nominations will be accepted, and all nominees will indicate their intentions: to accept or to decline their nomination. In the event that only one candidate is standing for election, the RSSAC may elect the new outgoing liaison by acclamation. In the event that two or more candidates are standing for election, the presiding Co-Chair will call for a vote. Members will indicate their selection. A simple majority (half plus one) of the voting members will establish the new liaison. In the event a simple majority is not achieved due to having more than two nominees, the nominee with the least number of votes is eliminated and the voting is repeated with the reduced slate of names. The process is repeated until a nominee achieves a simple majority. In the event of a tie, a run-off election will occur with members indicating their selection. In the event of a second tie, the floor will be opened for discussion followed by a new vote with the simple majority designating the new liaison. The Co-Chairs will forward the name of the outgoing liaison-elect to the reciprocating body. If a vacancy exists in an outgoing liaison role, the RSSAC will elect a new outgoing liaison through this process.

[rssac-caucus] Prioritizing future work
by Verd, Brad May 3, 2018

May 3, 2018

Dear RSSAC Caucus Members, The RSSAC and RSSAC Caucus currently have eight work items in the queue. Some of these have been discussed at RSSAC Caucus meetings and some of them might be new to members. Please view this Google doc for a list of them with short explanations. <https://docs.google.com/document/d/1PWKGeLCLcqlu7RwaPetzlkwYWcHrv67Eq3-YvEy…<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__docs.google.com_docume…>> Due to bandwidth constraints on both ICANN staff and RSSAC Caucus members we need to prioritize them. Once the prioritization is known the RSSAC will request a Statement of Work (SoW) for the first one. Then as work parties finish and people’s time becomes available we will work our way through the queue. With that in mind please rank the work items in the order you would like to work on them. Please rank items high if you are interested in working on them and low if you’re not interested. <https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/JDGSVHW[surveymonkey.com]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.surveymonkey.com_r…>> Please fill in the survey by May 9th. If you have already taken the survey please do NOT vote a second time. This will create more support work for the team to remove duplicate. Thanks in advance. Best regards, Tripti Sinha and Brad Verd RSSAC Co-Chairs

[rssac-caucus] Moving "Recommendations on Anonymization Processes for Source IP Addresses Submitted for Future Analysis" to RSSAC
by Paul Hoffman April 18, 2018

April 18, 2018

Greetings again. We have completed this work item for RSSAC (although they might later ask us to revise it or work on a related topic). Andrew: Can you please format the document as needed and forward this to RSSAC? Please add a note that says we know that the original request was for the Caucus to pick a preferred method, but we explicitly did not because there was no consensus about which would be preferred for all RSOs, and we discussed the reasoning for this in the document. --Paul Hoffman
