        Subject: Reminder to Councilors: Need to select SC reps
        Importance: High
        
        
        In motion 4b - GNSO Improvements Implementation Plan (copied
below), passed unanimously by the Council on 16 October, note that we
resolved the following: "The GNSO Council requests that constituencies,
NomCom appointees, the ALAC and the GAC identify representatives to
serve in the two Standing Committees as defined in the Plan by 24
October 2008 if possible, but not later than 31 October; Kickoff
meetings of the Standing Committees be held during the ICANN meetings in
Cairo (1-7 November 2008) with teleconference capability for any who may
not be able to attend in-person."
         
        This is a reminder to encourage constituencies and NomCom reps
to identify one representative for each of the two steering committees
[Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) and Operations Steering
Committee (OSC)].  
         
        ALAC and GAC liaisons are also encouraged to work within your
organizations to identify one representative for each of the two
steering committees. 
         
        Note that representatives do NOT have to be Councilors.
         
        The first meetings of the two SCs are presently scheduled for
Sunday, 2 November in Cairo as follows:

        *       Separate and simultaneous meetings for the two SCs from
11:15 am to 12:15 pm 
        *       A joint follow-up meeting from 15:30 to 16:30.

        Assuming there are no objections:

        *       Avri and I will serve in our capacity as Chair and Vice
Chair respectively on separate SCs: Avri will serve on the PPSC and I
will serve on the OSC. 
        *       It will be up to the SCs to select chairs but to
facilitate the kickoff meetings on 2 November, Avri and I will
temporarily serve as chairs.

        If a representative is not able to attend the kickoff meetings,
I suggest that an alternative be identified who is able to attend.
         
        If there are any questions, please ask.
         
        Thanks, Chuck
         
        Motion 4b.
