<br>
I hereby express my interest in representing NCSG on the Standing<br>
Committee on Continuous Improvement.<br>
<br>
I think that the SCCI will be one of the most important drivers of<br>
possible change in GNSO constituency structures (and ICANN<br>
constituencies in general) and that we should be represented<br>
as strongly as possible.<br>
<br>
As you know, I have experience of not only the GNSO but also other<br>
parts of the ICANN community, and been involved with the GNSO<br>
for more than 10 years, so I feel I might be able to help look<br>
after NCSG interests in the SCCI.<br>
<br>
With kind regards,<br>
<br>
Julf<br>
<br>

Previous efforts were initiated by the Council, while other changes were accomplished through Organizational Reviews anchored inArticle 4.4. of the ICANN Bylaws <<a href="https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#article4.4" rel="noreferrer noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#article4.4</a>>. As the ICANN community evolves towards a larger continuous improvement program, the GNSO’s SCCI and its TFs will be heavily involved in these efforts. While broad, GNSO project assignments will be limited to any processes and procedures that would have a GNSO-wide impact only. For avoidance of doubt, all assignments of the SCCI and TFs shall be first approved by the Council. Subsequently, any outcomes of the SCCI and TFs’ project related work will be sent to the Council for their consideration and follow-up actions, if any.
