[NCSG-PC] Fwd: [Epdp-dt] Candidate Confidentiality

Mon Jul 2 12:36:02 EEST 2018

Hi Arsene,

I think Susan is saying just the opposite, she is the Chair of the SSC and would be happy to lead this process? For the reasons that Rafik has indicated let's try to get Council leadership to make this selection...

Best wishes,

Ayden

I think we should try as much as possible to encourage candidates to have a public statement about why they believe they can be a neutral and effective chair.  In this respect, I would consider the parameters of the decision to resemble an election more than a hiring decision.

I believe they should be confidential or, at a minimum, the candidates should at least have the option to decide whether they wish to have their candidacy made public. Given the subject matter of this PDP, I thought we might be a bit more sensitive to privacy.

The SSC is more representative of the GNSO and has a methodology in place for selections as a result of the processes they’ve undertaken to date.
