<p class="MsoNormal">Ed and I both feel strongly that we adhere
to the following language which allows for a rotation of
stakeholder group candidates for review team selection. We
agree that first and foremost that qualified candidates should
be selected but as there are no shortage of candidates
applying for the review teams historically we believe that the
SSC can select qualified candidates and ensure that all SG’s
are represented in the on going process.

<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><i>In order to achieve balance and
diversity on the Review Teams, a system of rotation shall be
applied to Review Team selections. Any Stakeholder Group
which nominated candidates(s) for a Review Team but did not
have a candidate ranked in the top three for that Review
Team shall be guaranteed to have an applicant from their
Stakeholder Group ranked in the top three for the next three
GNSO Review Team appointment processes.</i><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">I have a strong
preference to make this a small group and as such opt for
membership per SG as described in Option 1. My reading of
the Charter is that Option 1 membership also includes the
non-voting nominating committee appointee to the Council and
the GNSO Leadership Team would also serve as ex-officio
members. This means 8 members of the Council would make up
the SSC.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">During our
discussions of the charter, some have argued that it should
be more prescriptive with regards to ensuring that there is
a fair/balanced rotation among SGs with regard to candidates
nominated/selected for positions. I agree that this is a
consideration that the SSC should take into account
throughout the selection processes, but this consideration
should also be balanced in terms of ensuring that the
candidate also has the necessary skills to make a valuable
contribution to the role. I believe the language currently
in the charter adequately provides for diversity and
representativeness:
</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in;text-indent:-.5in"><i><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">7. The
SSC shall strive as far as possible to achieve balance,
representativeness, diversity and sufficient expertise
appropriate for the applicable selection process.</span></i><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">However, given the
SSC will be conducting a review of the charter after
applying it to two selection processes, if the SSC believes
this is not adequate they can recommend changes.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D"> </span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">Selection:</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span
style="font-size:11.0pt;color:#1F497D">While I have concerns
about the use of full consensus, consensus etc. primarily
because I would hate to think that we would ever be in a
situation where we have minority view positions coming out
of any SSC selection process, I think this is something that
the SSC could also consider when they review the charter.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
