SSC Assignment Overview:
The GNSO Council is currently seeking volunteers who wish to be an alternate liaison to the Customer Standing Committee (CSC) for the term beginning 1 October 2023. The CSC ensures the satisfactory performance of the Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA) naming function. The CSC is responsible for monitoring Public Technical Identifier’s (PTI) performance of the IANA naming function against the service level expectations in the IANA Naming Function Contract. The CSC analyzes performance reports provided by PTI and publishes its findings. The CSC is authorized to undertake remedial action to address poor performance of the IANA naming function, and if performance issues are not remedied, may escalate the issues to the ccNSO and GNSO. Additionally, the CSC may recommend changes to the naming Service Level Expectations as well as enhancements to the provision of the IANA naming services. See the CSC Candidates Qualification Requirements for details about candidate selection and the CSC Charter to understand the scope of the requirements and duties. The CSC onboarding deck may also be a helpful resource.
Selection Process:
The GNSO Council has tasked the GNSO Standing Selection Committee (SSC) with evaluating the Expressions of Interest according to the criteria in the EOI with the objective of making a recommendation by full consensus to the GNSO Council. The GNSO Council will review the SSC's recommendation and make a final decision.
Key Dates:
21 June 2023: Deadline to submit Expressions of Interest
27 June 2023: SSC notified of new assignment
05 July 2023: SSC meeting to review assignment/preview poll; launch poll on candidate

2. Review of upcoming SSC assignment and selection process:
a. See: GNSO Alternate Non-Registry Liaison to the CSCand below.
Overview/Questions:
- CSC has decided to allow Alternate members.
- There were some issues with Milton Mueller missing meetings so there was identification of a gap (later established that there was a technical issue with Milton).
- GNSO Council assigned to SSC.
- Same process as SSC used for selection of Milton, so not a new process.
- Term doesn’t start until October 1 (this is a CSC determination, not Council), but good to get the process completed as soon as possible.
- Put a placeholder motion on the July Council meeting agenda and fill in the name when the selection process is complete – also could be moved/deferred to the August agenda.
- There was one candidate – John Gbadamosi – call for EOIs ended on 21 June.
- Question: With only one candidate should we extend the call for EOIs? Answer: It’s not surprising that there was only one candidate – this is a position that requires specific skills and experience. Not likely that an extension would generate more candidates and, in any case, that is a Council decision to make.
- Question: Once the GNSO Council adopts the selection, can that person start attending meetings? Answer: Per the CSC the Alternate Liaisons’ terms start 01 October.
- Question: Is this a process to select the Liaison? Answer: The current Liaison is Milton – his term is not expiring and he has indicated that he wants to stay in the position; this selection process is for the Alternate Liaison.
b. Preview candidate evaluation poll.
- The poll is the same as we used for Milton.
- The candidate materials are on a closed page (SSC members only) --- we will take the action to check to make sure you all have access.
- Question: If we don’t know the candidate and so can’t answer a question can we skip it? Answer: Staff will test and see if questions can be skipped (DONE—they can).
- The poll is brief so we think about a week should be enough time.
c. Next Steps: See Key Dates below.
- Note that next week’s meeting to review the candidate poll results and make the selection is Wednesday, 12 July at 1400 UTC.
- If the SSC agrees on a selection there will be a 24-hour period on the list for non-objection and then the motion for Council consideration will be updated with the name.
- The meeting time does not conflict with the SubPro IRT.
