[NCSG-PC] Fwd: Request for confirmation of members - GNSO Standing Selection Committee

[Tapani Tarvainen]

Hi Ayden,

First to your second point: there're indeed three slots for NCSG, but
originally it was proposed one per constituency. The argument that won
us the third slot was that we have members who belong to neither as
well as many who belong to both constituencies. It could have been one
per constituency plus one non-constituency-tied slot for NCSG as well,
and I think it was mainly due to lack of time that the decision was
made to leave it up to the NCSG to pick three as a SG.

With that history, I think we should give each constituency at least
one slot in any case (as long as they have a volunteer, and both do).

As for calling for volunteers on the -discuss list, I'm not sure it'd
be necessary, as the nature of the job is such that it's hardly
suitable for newcomers - while there's no formal requirement, I tend
to think councillors and PC members should be preferred. And time is
short. But you are welcome to spread the word in whichever way you
want, of course.

As to who decides, generally the Policy Committee is responsible for
NCSG appointments. In this case we could even let each constituency
formally pick theirs and leave only the 3rd to be decided by the PC,
but if we can agree that there should be a representative from each
constituency, I think it'd be fine to let the PC choose all three.

As for how candidates would be assessed, we have no time to set up
proper formal criteria. As per above, I would suggest
(1) at least one per constituency;
(2) preference given to councillors, PC members and former councillors;
(3) look at the council decision for necessary qualifications.

But in the end we'll just have to discuss alternatives and if
necessary vote within the PC.

I will communicate this internal deadline to them. Might it be worth considering sending a call for nominations to the general NCSG list?
