1. A candidate's name is forwarded to Jule Julie Hedlund, Staff support for the SSAC, who will follow up with the candidate to obtain a bio/CV and statement of interest.
2. An interview will be schedules scheduled between the candidate and the SSAC Membership Committee at the Committee's next available meeting.  The Committee meets bi-weekly, but other candidates may be scheduled for discussion at a meeting so the timing depends on the meeting's agenda. 
3. The SSAC Membership Committee conducts the interview, completes the evaluation process of the candidate, and informs the full SSAC of its recommendation.  
   1. This could take some time depending on whether multiple candidates are being considered at the same time.
4. The SSAC decides whether to accept the candidate.  If accepted, the candidate can immediately begin to participate as an invited guest of the Committee until the ICANN Board makes its formal appointment -- generally to occur at an ICANN meeting, but could occur at the next meeting at which the Board is voting on resolutions.
