1. As part of the discussions within ICANN between the GNSO and GAC on how to facilitate early engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development activities, the option of appointing a GNSO liaison to the GAC was initially piloted in FY15 and F16, and subsequently confirmed by the GNSO Council as a permanent role at the start of FY17.
2. The GNSO Council appointed Jeffrey Neuman to the role of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee on 21 October 2020, until the end of the ICANN AGM 2021.
3. The GNSO Council has an obligation to review the role annually and reconfirm the appointment unless the review indicates otherwise and/or the Liaison has indicated that he/she is no longer available to continue in this role, in which case a new selection process will take place.
4. On 23 September 2021, the GNSO Council approved the updated role description for the GNSO liaison to the GAC.  Subsequently, GNSO Council leadership has met with Jeffrey Neuman to discuss his experience and to confirm that he is willing to continue in this role in light of the updated role description.
5. The GNSO Council has reviewed the annual report prepared by the GNSO Liaison to the GAC (see [include link]see https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/gnso-liaison-to-gac-16oct21-en.pdf).

Resolved:

1. The GNSO Council hereby reappoints Jeffrey Neuman to the role of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee until the end of the ICANN AGM 20222.
2. The GNSO Council leadership team will inform the GAC leadership team accordingly, and will co-ordinate with Jeffrey Neuman as well as the GAC leadership team and GAC Secretariat on next steps and the continued successful implementation of this role.
