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
