Councilors -

As discussed on the list a couple of weeks ago, please see this Motion
(attached and copied below) to extend the term of the current GNSO-GAC
Liaison (Mason) through ICANN57 in Hyderabad, and to adopt a new timeline
for selecting a successor liaison.

I¹ve also added a new action item (Whereas #5 and Resolved #3) which calls
for the development of a ³uniform selection process² as part of the
post-transition implementation work.  If adopted, this uniform selection
process would be employed in some capacity to fill future appointments to
Liaisons, Review Teams, and other working groups as necessary.

Thank you,

J.

Motion to extend the term of the current GNSO Liaison to the GAC and
confirm
the extended timeline for the selection process for the next GNSO liaison
to
the GAC. 

 
Whereas:
 
1.The GNSO Council adopted the ŒRequest for Candidates ­ GNSO Liaison to
the GAC¹ which
includes the proposed call for volunteers, application and evaluation
process (see
http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/request-liaison-gac-30mar16-en.pdf during
its meeting on 14 April
2016.

2.The subsequent call for volunteers resulted in one incomplete
application by the
Deadline.

3.     The GNSO Leadership team shared with the Council its assessment
concerning the 
misalignment of the current deadline and the fact that the terms of
possible candidates (e.g. former
Council members) end at the ICANN AGM and as a result proposed to extend
the selection timeline
as follows: Nominations Accepted for Candidates - 1 OCT 2016; Council
Chairs consider candidates and
notify first choice - 20 OCT; Chairs submit motion to Council by 29 OCT
for consideration during Council
meeting on 8 NOV; GAC Leadership notified of new Liaison by 9 NOV.

4.     The current GNSO Liaison to the GAC has agreed to extend his term
until the ICANN AGM in Hyderabad.

5.     The GNSO Council leadership expects that appointments of this
nature will continue to be necessary in the future,
and these selections would benefit from a uniform selection process.
Additionally, the Council notes the upcoming
implementation work associated with the post-transition bylaws will
include work on drafting a uniform selection process,
and this could be expanded to cover additional roles.

 
Resolved:
 
1. The GNSO Council hereby confirms the extension of the term of the
current GNSO Liaison to the GAC, Mason Cole, until the end of the ICANN
AGM in
Hyderabad. 

2. The GNSO Council instructs the GNSO Secretariat to inform the GNSO
Stakeholder 
Groups and Constituencies of the extended selection timeline (Nominations
Accepted for 
Candidates - 1 OCT 2016; Council Chairs consider candidates and notify
first choice - 20 OCT;
Chairs submit motion to Council by 29 OCT for consideration during Council
meeting on 8 NOV; 
GAC Leadership notified of new Liaison by 9 NOV).

3. The Council instructs Staff to include consideration of a uniform
selection process as part of the work associated with implementing the
post-transition bylaws
