[PC-NCSG] Council Meeting of March 15th

[Edward Morris]

Happy to. Matt and Stefania may want to weigh in as well here.

Item 21 of the March 6th DT Review states:

There is no role here

for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee as appointments are directly made by the SGs (this will need to be made clear in the charter for the GNSO Standing Selection Committee)

Each SG will publis 

No mentioned in the SSC Charter of this. There are other instances like this later in the report.

There are 13 references to the GNSO Standing Selection Committee in the first 20 items. None refer as well
to Council as the appointing entity. That's a DT issue but one that in implementation, depending upon what the DT does, could affect the substance of the SSC Charter.

In short, there is a lot of ambiguity and certainly items that need to be placed in the SSC Charter that have not been. I'd suggest that we need to get this right the first time, not pass something in haste and then have to continuously amend it.

>> Hello everyone,

>>  
>> What became clear to the three of us is the dependency of the DT processes on the proposed GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC), and vice versa. It is as blatant as DT staff recommendations that certain statements pertaining to selection processes be placed within the SSC Charter. They have not been. There was also the perception of the three of us that there may be certain specifications relating to the Empowered Community that may need to be placed within the SSC Charter.

>> It is for these reasons that I intend to call for Item 4 on the agenda for Wednesday's Council meeting, approval of the SSC Charter,  to be deferred or withdrawn. I will further recommend that the Drafting Team be asked to send to the small group that has been tasked with creating  the SSC specifications any and all provisions it believes should be included in the SSC Charter and for the small group, working with staff, to adjust the Charter proposal accordingly.
>>  
>> This is not what anyone wants. We have appointments that need to be made and they may once again need to be done on an ad hoc basis. Yet what we're creating now is intended to be a somewhat permanent part of the GNSO landscape. I'd suggest it is better to get it done right rather than fast.
>>  
>> Happy to answer any questions.
