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
