>>>> Candidates are invited for Generic Names Supporting Organisation (GNSO)

>>>>
>>>> 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 in order to complement
>>>> the existing notification processes as well answering questions in
>>>> 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 GNSO. In addition to
>>>> these existing engagement tools, regular co-ordination calls are to
>>>> be scheduled between the
>>>> GNSO Liaison to the GAC and the GAC Secretariat to ascertain that all
>>>> the relevant information

>>>> and also, where applicable, intercessional meetings (via
