Dear Jonathan,

thank you for making sure the process remains on track despite the difficult 
deadlines and our inablility to resolve this early on our last call. During the 
Amsterdam meeting the RrSG councilors have met and discussed the ballot, and we 
have elected to abstain on a vote on the two additional candidates.  We believe 
the GNSO has endorsed four candidates for the ATRT that are highly capable for 
the role. The questions of geographic and gender diversity are fully available 
to the Chairs of the Board and GAC through the full slate of candidates from 
all parts of the community.

Best regards,

Volker Greimann

All,

The GNSO Council has now received endorsements from all four SGs.

As a reminder, the GNSO process is as follows:

The Council will consider the resulting list of up to four nominees at its next 
teleconference. If the list does not meet the above mentioned diversity 
objectives, the Council as a whole may choose to endorse up to two additional 
candidates from the applicant pool who would help to give the list of GNSO 
nominees the desired balance. In this case, the Council would hold a vote 
during its teleconference, with sixty percent support of both
houses represented in the Council being required for endorsement. If no 
candidate obtains that level of support, the list of endorsements obtained via 
the bottom-up process of stakeholder group nominations will be deemed final and 
forwarded to ICANN.

Please note:


·        The candidate list meets the GNSO agreed gender diversity requirements 
in that not all endorsed candidates are of the same gender.

·        However it does not meet the GNSO agreed geographic diversity 
requirements in that all endorsed candidates are from a single (North America) 
ICANN region.

Therefore the slate needs to be added to with (up to two) additional SG 
supported candidates in order to get closer to meeting geographic diversity 
requirements.

The two SG supported candidates that assist us in meeting this requirement are:

Marie-Laure Lemineur

F

Latin America

NCSG

Olivier Muron

M

Europe

CSG


Therefore we will ballot the Council on list (since a teleconference is now not 
practical ahead of the deadline) in order to see if either or both (of 
Marie-Laure Lemineur and Olivier Mouron) have the support of 60% of both houses 
of the Council.

Please can you keep an alert view on the Council list for the ballot which will 
be available no later than 23h59 UTC today (24th January 2013). The ballot will 
close 23h59 UTC on 26th January.

Thank-you.



Jonathan
