Dear Russ and Jennifer, Thank you very much for recently sharing with the GAC the opportunity to name a replacement for Mohamad Amin Hasbini on the SSR2 Review Team. The GAC Leadership has asked me to advise you that the GAC will not be naming a replacement for Mr. Hasbini at this time. The committee will continue to follow your efforts and appreciates the recent update you shared on your work.

Please note the SO/AC Chairs and the SSR2 Review Team are copied on this email for their information. Mr. Hasbini announced his resignation<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__mm.icann.org_pipermail_...> from the SSR2 Review Team on 16 January 2019. Operating Standards [icann.org]<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.icann.org_public-2D...> required by the ICANN Bylaws for reviews have not been completed and adopted by the Board, so we don’t have a formal process to follow regarding resignations from the SSR2 Review. Ultimately, since Mr. Hasbini is a GAC appointment, it is our understanding that the decision on whether or not to replace him rests with the GAC. The SSR2 Review Team would, of course, welcome any new members appointed by the community. The SSR2 currently is working on<https://community.icann.org/display/SSR/Work+Plan?preview=/64075835/10213947...> a draft report for public comment. The SSR2 Review Team leadership requests that SOs/ACs that are considering appointing new members at this juncture in the team’s work ensure that appointees have the knowledge and time to contribute to the SSR2 Review Team’s work in progress. I suspect that anyone joining the team today would have need to be very diligent to catch up with the rest of the team. Please let me know if I can provide more information, or if you would like to discuss.
