</p></div></div></div></blockquote><div> </div><div>I am not sure why you call this a down side because that's the actual work of the SSC: to select most of the times, one candidate out of a good pool of competent candidates. The challenge here is that not everyone on the SSC devotes the necessary time to go through the material and do the proper assessment/ranking of candidates, that's the only time where energy and concentration are needed. <br></div><div><br></div><div>I welcome our new colleagues and hope they will help bring in new blood to support the work of the SSC when a new request comes from the GNSO Council.</div><div><br></div><div>Regards,</div><div>Arsene<br></div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div class="msg-7250265766887357587"><div lang="EN-US" style="overflow-wrap: break-word;"><div class="m_-7250265766887357587WordSection1"><p class="MsoNormal"><u></u><u></u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I always remember that many from other ICANN stakeholder groups do their “volunteer work” as part of their regular work load for which they are paid and from which they have expenses
support. NCSG stakeholders for the most part, while some can “monetize” their ICANN participation, mainly donate their time and resources.
