Whereas:
- 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.
- The GNSO Council appointed Julf Helsingius to the role of GNSO Liaison to the Governmental Advisory Committee on 24 October 2018, until the end of the ICANN AGM 2019.
- 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.
- The GNSO Council leadership has met with Julf Helsingius to discuss his experience and to confirm that he is willing to continue in this role.
- The GNSO Council has reviewed the annual report prepared by the GNSO Liaison to the GAC (see https://gnso.icann.org/sites/default/files/file/field-file-attach/gac-liaison-annual-02oct19-en.pdf).
