>> Dear PC members,
>>
>> In case you missed the below in ncsg-discuss, I called out for
>> volunteers for GAC liaison position. I was in a bit of a rush and
>> didn't think it through, but of course endorsement on behalf of NCSG
>> would belong to the PC rather than EC, so I'll let Rafik take over
>> here (still up to Farzaneh to decide if NCUC wants to endorse someone
>> on their own - as far as I can tell constituencies can endorse
>> candidates here as well as SGs).
>>
>> So far I've received one definite expression of interest, namely from
>> Julf Helsingius. I'll let you know immediately if I get more.
>>
>> Regards,
>>

>> REQUEST FOR CANDIDATES – GNSO LIAISON TO THE GAC

>> Background
>> As part of the discussions within ICANN between the GNSO and GAC, on
>> how to facilitate early
>> engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development activities, the option
>> of appointing a GNSO
>> liaison to the GAC has been proposed as one of the mechanisms to explore.
>> As such, the GAC-GNSO
>> Consultation Group (CG) on GAC Early Engagement in GNSO policy
>> development activities
>> implemented a two-year pilot program in FY15-16 (starting 1 July 2014
>> to 30 June 2016). This
>> mechanism was evaluated by the CG which recommended in March 2016 to
>> the GAC and GNSO to
>> transform this pilot into a permanent role.
>>
>> Objective
>> The GNSO liaison to the GAC (hereafter “the Liaison”) will be
>> primarily responsible for
>> providing timely updates to the GAC on GNSO policy development activities

>> relation to these (GNSO)
>> activities that GAC members may have. Furthermore, the Liaison will be
>> responsible for providing
>> the GNSO Council with regular updates on progress, including on GAC
>> activities, specifically in
>> so far as these relate to issues of interest to the GNSO. The
>> objective of the liaison
>> mechanism, in combination with some of the other mechanisms that the CG
>> is exploring, as well as
>> existing early engagement tools, will be to facilitate effective early
>> engagement of the GAC as
>> well as generally assist with flow of information between the GAC and the
