            Subject: [council] Regarding GAC liaison position<br>
            To: council@gnso icann. org <<a href="mailto:council@gnso.icann.org" target="_blank">council@gnso.icann.org</a>><br>

          <div dir="ltr">
            <div style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:small">Hi
              all,<br>
              <br>
              I'd like to follow up with our discussions in last week's
              Council meeting regarding opening the call for GAC liaison
              position.<br>
              <br>
              As emphasized in my intervention, this proposal shall not
              be seen as unsatisfaction for the current GAC liaison.
              Jeff has done an amazing job and we are extremely grateful
              for his time and devotion. <br>
              <br>
              However, I believe we as Council should not have one
              individual carrying out 2 critical liaison roles—the GAC
              liaison and SupPro liaison, both require impeccable
              neutrality. Again, this is not about the
              capability/performance of the individual but the Council's
              responsibility of making the two jobs clearly separated.
              We have obligations to ensure transparency and
              accountability of such processes and appointments.<br>
              <br>
              I proposed we open the position of GAC liaison and call
              for volunteers. As the deadline for SubPro ODA has been
              pushed to December this year, it goes without saying that
              subsequent work and discussions will continue until next
              year. I think we can all agree that the Council will feel
              crippled without Jeff as our SubPro ODP liaison. <br>
              <br>
              I've also suggested during last week's meeting that it is
              time for the Council to review the job description of GAC
              liaison, specifically, considering adding term limits for
              the role. I believe this will be another step towards
              better accountability and transparency of the GNSO
              Council.<br>
              <br>
              Thank you for reading this lengthy email. I look forward
              to further discussions!</div>
