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

While I appreciate the attempt to jump into the void, under the NCSG Charter, the NCSG Chair is the *only* person specifically excluded from filling the role of the NCSG PC Chair.

(See NCSG Charter 2.5.3 on NCSG PC Chair “The NCSG Chair may not serve in this role”.)

So what I think this situation means, is that the PC had better figure out how it wants to handle this asap (with those in the running recused from decision).  Here is a chance for us to fill a gap in our processes by either getting a vice-chair fast, or specifying some other means to make this decision.  But it will be up to the PC to make that decision.

Thanks,
Robin
