*Dear Councilors,*

The Generic Names Supporting Organization (GNSO) Council seeks volunteers
to serve on the Standing Committee on Continuous Improvement (SCCI). The
SCCI will be in charge of continuous improvement related projects that are
focused on the GNSO’s structural, procedural, and process improvements to
the Policy Development Process (PDP). This work originally commenced
through a pilot under the Council Committee for Overseeing and Implementing
Continuous Improvement (CCOICI) Framework
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/continuous-improvement-oversight-implementation-framework-29jun21-en.pdf>
 (last updated 29 June 2021), which has now converted to a permanent
standing committee following the GNSO Council’s adoption of the charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/en/council/resolutions/2020-current#202411>.

*What This Standing Committee Will Do*

The SCCI and its dedicated Task Forces (TFs), populated by the Councilors
and representatives of each Stakeholder Group (SG) and Constituency (C)
(hereafter “SG/C”), will execute a continuous improvement program that aims
to improve the GNSO’s process and procedures over time through gradual
changes. The goal is to achieve measurable improvements in the efficiency,
effectiveness, performance, outcomes, accountability, transparency, and
other indicators of quality for the GNSO. Notably, this work affects the
GNSO community more broadly and is not limited to that of the Council.

Considering that this is a permanent standing committee, the specific scope
of work across the varying projects that the SCCI and TFs will execute is
not overly prescribed within the charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/draft/scci-charter-draft-update-13nov24-en.pdf>,
as to avoid frequent edits and subsequent approvals. Previous efforts were
initiated by the Council, while other changes were accomplished through
Organizational Reviews anchored in Article 4.4. of the ICANN Bylaws
<https://www.icann.org/resources/pages/governance/bylaws-en#article4.4>. As
the ICANN community evolves towards a larger continuous improvement
program, the GNSO’s SCCI and its TFs will be heavily involved in these
efforts. While broad, GNSO project assignments will be limited to any
processes and procedures that would have a GNSO-wide impact only. For
avoidance of doubt, all assignments of the SCCI and TFs shall be first
approved by the Council. Subsequently, any outcomes of the SCCI and TFs’
project related work will be sent to the Council for their consideration
and follow-up actions, if any. More details on the scope of projects can be
found in Section II of the charter
<https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/policy/2024/draft/scci-charter-draft-update-13nov24-en.pdf>
 and as new projects and/or assignments are distributed and in due course,
completed, they will be managed via the GNSO’s Program Management Tool
(PMT) Suite
<https://community.icann.org/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=150178769>.

*Who Should Join*

SCCI is a representative model which shall consist of *a total of 21
Members, 2 Board Liaisons, and 9 Observers.* All those that join will serve
in representative capacity, where applicable, and as such, be responsible
for consulting with their respective groups on a regular basis:

   - A maximum of two members from each SG/C (14)
   - One Council member from the Registrar Stakeholder Group (RrSG) (1)
   - One Council member from the Registry Stakeholder Group (RySG) (1)
   - One Council member from the Commercial Stakeholder Group (CSG) (1)
   - One Council member from the Non-Commercial Stakeholder Group (NCSG) (1)
   - One Council NomCom Appointee (NCA) from each house (2)
   - One Council NomCom Appointee, non-voting (1)
   - Two GNSO Board Liaisons
      - One CPH Board seat #13 (1)
      - One NCPH Board seat #14 (1)

   - Nine Observers:
      - One Council Chair (1)
      - One Chair from each SG/C (8)

Members that are not a part of the Council will not have terms. Councilors,
Observers, and Liaisons will turn-over naturally as their terms, defined in
the ICANN Bylaws, conclude and are replaced by new representatives.
However, SG/Cs who nominate members to participate should frequently assess
and refresh their designated representatives to ensure active
participation. Members must be appointed and/or reconfirmed by the
leadership of the appointing SG/C and notification to the SCCI Chair and
support staff.

*How to Join*

GNSO community members who wish to join the Standing Committee should
contact the GNSO Secretariat at *gnso-secs at icann.org <gnso-secs at icann.org>*
by *Monday, 6 January 2025.*

*Background*

Standing Committee, please read its charter
