Subject: GNSO AoC RT Nominations
Finalized
Hello,
Just a quick note before I forget...the Council just finished its
special meeting to agree nominations for the accountability and transparency
review team. I am happy to report that all NCSG's endorsements were
approved, i.e. our nominations of NCUC/SG's Willie Currie (South Africa) for
the allocated slot and Hakikur Rahman (Bangladesh) for the open
competitive slot, as well as of Elaine Pruis (USA) for the unaffiliated
competitive slot. The voting alignment was pretty straightforward: in
both cases, the RgySG, RgrSG, NCSG, and NCAs voted yes, and the CSG voted no.
:-)
So Chuck Gomes will now notify Janis and Peter (two days early!) that
the GNSO is nominating the following six people for the four GNSO RT slots
approved by the board in Nairobi:
SG Allocated Slots
Brian Cute (RgySG, Afilias, USA)
Warren Adelman (Rgr, GoDaddy, USA)
Olivier Muron (CSG, Cap Digital, France)
Willie Curie (NCSG, APC, South Africa)
Open Elected Slot
Hakikur Rahman (NCSG,ICMS Foundation, Bangladesh)
Unaffiliated Elected Slot
Elaine Pruis (Minds and Machines, USA)
Congratulations to Willie and Hakik, and best of luck in the next step
of the process, the final selections by Janis and Peter.
BTW one might add that because of the smaller than expected applicant
pool (eleven GNSO candidates for this RT) and their distribution across
categories, it proved very difficult to satisfy the geographic and gender
diversity requirements that NCSG was instrumental in establishing. But we
came reasonably, and even surprisingly, close. It may well be that when
the drafting team revisits the issues to establish a permanent GNSO RT
application process, we will have to relax the rules slightly; it is clear that
there will significant if not uniform demand for this from other SGs. But
that's for later.
Best,
Bill
