[council] Reminder to Councilors: Need to select SC reps



In motion 4b - GNSO Improvements Implementation Plan (copied below), passed unanimously by the Council on 16 October, note that we resolved the following: "The GNSO Council requests that constituencies, NomCom appointees, the ALAC and the GAC identify representatives to serve in the two Standing Committees as defined in the Plan by 24 October 2008 if possible, but not later than 31 October; Kickoff meetings of the Standing Committees be held during the ICANN meetings in Cairo (1-7 November 2008) with teleconference capability for any who may not be able to attend in-person."
 
This is a reminder to encourage constituencies and NomCom reps to identify one representative for each of the two steering committees [Policy Process Steering Committee (PPSC) and Operations Steering Committee (OSC)]. 
 
ALAC and GAC liaisons are also encouraged to work within your organizations to identify one representative for each of the two steering committees.
 
Note that representatives do NOT have to be Councilors.
 
The first meetings of the two SCs are presently scheduled for Sunday, 2 November in Cairo as follows:
Assuming there are no objections:
If a representative is not able to attend the kickoff meetings, I suggest that an alternative be identified who is able to attend.
 
If there are any questions, please ask.
 
Thanks, Chuck
