1. The GNSO Liaison to the GAC role was first piloted in FY15-16 (1 July 2014 to 30 June 2016) as part of a broader initiative of the GAC-GNSO Consultation Group to facilitate early engagement of the GAC in GNSO policy development activities.
2. Due to the success of the pilot, the GNSO Liaison to the GAC is now a permanent role and an integral part of communications between the GAC and GNSO.
3. On 23 September 2021, the GNSO Council decided to extend each term of the GNSO Council Liaison to the GAC to two years and to impose a term limit of two consecutive two-year terms.
4. At the ICANN79 GNSO Council Wrap-up Session, the Council agreed to review the description of the GNSO Liaison to the GAC role prior to initiating the Standing Selection Committee’s (SSC) process to open an Expression of Interest (EOI) and subsequently select a new liaison to assume the role at the 2024 Annual General Meeting (ICANN81).
5. Post ICANN79, the Council reviewed the liaison role description and suggested several revisions.
6. After allowing time for Council to review the revisions, staff incorporated them into a final clean version [link to documents] as well as a redlined version [link to documents] for Council’s consideration at its meeting on 16 May.
