<div>Hi Carlos,</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Thanks for the questions. A NCSG member being vice chair won't be an option for the next 2 years as it will be a CSG councillor turn as we are alternating for that role. so that respond to the first part of the question</div>
<div>Following what is going on in GNSO council is helpful but being there is not required. We had before a non-councillor as PC chair so it is possible. Being able to find information, get updates, be aware about public comments and/or other initiatives, following policy discussions are important and having familiarity with the processes are what matters imho. I don't have any particular advice regarding being or not a councillor in order to be PC chair, only commitment matters :)</div>
<div>yes the call is scheduled for next Wednesday.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div> </div>

<p>Dear Rafik,</p>
<p>I kindly ask for your clarification to continue this important discussion: Based on your experience, would you recommend that the Policy Chair would also be member of the GNSO? Would you recommend to anybody the Policy Chair should double as Council Vice Chair? I have no doubts we have enjoyed a great benefit form having you covering both, the Council administrative as well as the council's policy issues. The questions are if this is sustainable over the long term, or if we should look for a Policy Chair who is NOT part of the Council and ask some of our Council members to support the Policy Chair ina a team format (just as one example). It could also be the other way around. In any case, I ask for your thoughts and recommendation from your own 300% engagement perspective what could be the most suitable structure we could have in the future.</p>
<p>Thanks again for your unconditional service!</p>

<div dir="ltr">Hi all,
<div> </div>
<div>The policy committee composition went through several changes with new representatives from constituencies and councillors (added in cc just in case). I think it is good opportunity now to discuss next steps and plan. It is also important to work as team and think about our role and duties as outlined in the charter and the expectations from NCSG members.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>A first action would be the election of a NCSG PC chair and agree on the process. It will be good to document the process for the future and one thing to add to the PC operating procedures project (on hold for a while and I will share the draft soon). The election will happen within PC members. With regard to charter provision for reference:</div>
<div>"<strong style="color: #172b4d; font-family: -apple-system,system-ui,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,'Fira Sans','Droid Sans','Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;">2.5.3. NCSG‑PC Leadership</strong></div>
<ul style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; color: #172b4d; font-family: -apple-system,system-ui,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,'Fira Sans','Droid Sans','Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;">
<li>A Chair will be elected or replaced from among the members of the NCSG‑PC by a 2/3 vote of the NCSG‑PC membership on a yearly basis.</li>
</ul>
<p style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; padding: 0px; color: #172b4d; font-family: -apple-system,system-ui,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,'Fira Sans','Droid Sans','Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;">-- The NCSG Chair may not serve in this role.</p>
<ul style="margin: 10px 0px 0px; color: #172b4d; font-family: -apple-system,system-ui,'Segoe UI',Roboto,Oxygen,Ubuntu,'Fira Sans','Droid Sans','Helvetica Neue',sans-serif;">
<li>One or more Vice-Chairs may be chosen by the NCSG‑PC on a yearly basis."</li>
</ul>
<div> </div>
<div>I have served as PC chair for at least for 3 years and I will be term limited as councillor and PC member by AGM of this year. So thinking about transition in a way or another is critical. One way experimented before is also to have vice-chairs as the charter permits at least in term of workload.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Another would be to think strategically for PC work for this year and not just on whatever tasks or deadlines comes to us. GNSO council had its SPS meeting last week and there were a lot of discussions about priorities and that will come to us as SG soon where we need to define our policy priorities for this year and share our input to council. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Please let me know about your suggestions/ideas. Currently the monthly policy call is not a PC call per se but we can think if we need our separate call to brainstorming and conduct our business. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>Best,</div>
<div> </div>
