[council] For Vote: Final List of CSC Members and Liaisons

[Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@xxxxxxxxx>]

Dear GNSO Councilors,

 

I am sending this message on behalf of the GNSO Customer Service Committee 
(CSC) Selection Committee.

 

Following the evaluation by the ccNSO and GNSO Selection Committees, please see 
the attached final list of the full slate of CSC liaisons and members for the 
upcoming vote outside of a meeting to be held by the GNSO Council beginning not 
later than 06 August and closing 09 August.  This list will be linked to the 
previously submitted motion for the vote at: 
https://community.icann.org/display/gnsocouncilmeetings/Motions+9+August+2016.

 

As noted previously, the GNSO Council requested that the GNSO CSC Selection 
Committee shall engage, if requested, with the ccNSO Selection Committee to 
evaluate the full slate of CSC members and liaisons.  The GNSO and ccNSO CSC 
Selection Committees met on 02 August to consider the CSC liaisons and members. 
Following that meeting the GNSO CSC Selection Committee sends via this message 
to the GNSO Council the recommended list of CSC liaisons and members.

 

Although the GNSO and ccNSO CSC Selection Committees recommend approval of the 
full slate of CSC liaisons and members to our respective Councils, the GNSO CSC 
Selection Committee believes, and imagines that other SOs and ACs might agree, 
that there are concerns with the timing of the process.  We suggest that these 
concerns also should be raised to ICANN and the community when the ccNSO and 
GNSO convey their joint approval as a formal statement. 

 

First, both the ccNSO and GNSO Selection Committees agreed that although the 
full slate of members and liaisons fully embodies the skills and general 
diversity necessary for their roles, the GNSO CSC Selection Committee believes 
that the extreme time limitation for the selection process may have limited a 
broader diversity of candidates from being encouraged to apply.  Furthermore, 
some potential candidates may not have applied due to the lack of time for 
outreach to address questions or concerns about the skills needed for the 
member and liaison roles.  The GNSO Selection Committee has noted that in the 
future review of the CSC Charter the membership process should be amended to 
address the above mentioned issues.

 

As noted above, the attached list is subject to the vote of the GNSO Council 
after which the ccNSO and GNSO Councils will provide the final list to ICANN 
not later than 10 August.

 

Kind regards,

Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
