This cycle, Council leadership suggested revising the job description to reflect a preference for appointees that are not currently affiliated with any Stakeholder Group or Constituency, recognizing that this may not always be feasible. However, concerns were raised about the feasibility of identifying unaffiliated candidates that are also adequately knowledgeable about the ICANN environment and the GNSO more specifically. The Council discussed the proposed revisions during its October meeting where concerns were also expressed that the revised guidance may potentially serve as a chilling factor to otherwise qualified, but currently affiliated, candidates. Council leadership noted that the rationale for the proposed changes were to preserve the balance of the Council and to promote both independence and diversity in NomCom appointees to the Council. The Council established a small team to seek to reach agreement on a revised job description; the small team shared its proposed final draft [LINK TO BE ADDED WHEN AVAILABLE] on [date] on 16 November 2021.
Here, the GNSO Council will vote to approve the revised job description.

On 25 October 2021, Philippe Fouquart shared a thought paper drafted by the ICANN org, which has been developed “considering what procedures are in place for modifying consensus policies, and where there may be gaps, ambiguities, or opportunities for additional collaboration.” The Council has since convened a small team, which will also seek volunteers from all SG/Cs, as the topic is of importance beyond just the Council. As this team is being convened, it is perhaps nevertheless helpful to seek impressions from Councilors that could feed into the small team’s deliberations.
