[NCSG-PC] [liaison6c] Action needed | Annual SSC Refresh | Respond by 19 November 2025.

[Rafik Dammak]

Hi all,

I propose to reappoint and confirm those eligible and ask someone from
councillors to volunteer in order to replace Bruna.
I assume Peter would be there as ex officio from GNSO leadership. Julf is
already memeber. So @Tapani Tarvainen <ncsg at tapani.tarvainen.info> @farzaneh
badii <farzaneh.badii at gmail.com> @Benjamin Akinmoyeje <benakin at gmail.com> ?

Best,

Rafik
