She didn't meet these and I did provide her feedback and encouraged her to continue developing this knowledge and apply for future rounds.  Friday November 13th was the deadline to send the names of our appointees, the same deadline to receive applications internally due to the late call and on the same day, we reviewed the applications and I sent a request to the PC to comment on the options. Not hearing from the PC over the weekend, Bruna and myself decided to confirm 
Raymond Mamattah and Peter Akinremi Taiwo on Monday and informed staff that we will continue to work to find a suitable candidate for the remaining slot.I recommend we extend the call for applications for another week and give ourselves a chance to get a suitable candidate.TomslinOn Wed, 18 Nov 2020 at 02:13, Oreoluwa Lesi <oreoluwa at wtec.org.ng> wrote:Dear Bruna,Since Razoana doesn’t meet the criteria, I think it’s good to give her the feedback. If it’s not something that can be worked on, then we should open the call for an additional name.Kind regards,Ore

According to Razoana's application - Tomslin and myself agreed that she did not meet the set out criteria. Should we expand the call in order to check if we get an additional name ? Best, bruna On Sat, Nov 14, 2020 at 3:02 AM Tomslin Samme-Nlar <mesumbeslin at gmail.com> wrote:Dear PC,Regarding this short call for applications with a deadline to appoint today Friday 13 November, we received only two applications.1. Taiwo Peter Akinremi - whose profile meets the criteria set for the position.2. Razoana Moslam - whom in my opinion does not meet the criteria for the position but is interested. You can see their cover letters below.In this regard, I would like to get your opinion on how we should proceed with the appointment.

Dear Members,You will recall that NCSG has 3 representatives on the GNSO Council Standing Selection Committee (SSC) which is tasked with helping the GNSO Council make appointments to review teams and other important positions. You can find more details about its mission and role here.
You will also recall that in August, we filled one slot which was vacant after the resignation of one of the NCSG representatives. We now have 2 more slots to fill since two of our current representatives to this committee are term limited. This is therefore a call for volunteers in that regard. We have only upto this Friday 13th of November to fill the seats, so I urge anyone who would like to volunteer to please send through their applications as soon as possible. Candidates should:Be familiar with the GNSO, the GNSO Council, and with the positions to be filled by the SSC;Have some experience in candidates selection and review, in nominating committee or any similar structure; andCommit to participating actively and diligently in the SSC’s activities and discussions, and to coordinate with other NCSG representatives.If you wish to be considered for this role, please send your application to the Chair of the NCSG Policy Committee (mesumbeslin at gmail.com), copy (bruna.mrtns at gmail.com) and (maryam.bakoshi at icann.org) by 13th November.Your application should include all relevant details to demonstrate your experience with regards to applicant selection and evaluation processes, an updated statement of interest (SOI), and any other relevant information for the NCSG Policy Committee’s consideration.Cheers,Tomslin
