TEXT TO BE UPDATED - ITEM REMOVED FROM CONSENT AGENDA
A Community Representatives Group (CRG) has been formed to select nominees for the Bylaws-mandated Independent Review Process (IRP) Standing Panel. The GNSO has the opportunity to appoint up to two members to serve on the CRG, but only one application was received by the GNSO in response to an initial Expression of Interest process. The candidate was considered and recommended by the GNSO Standing Selection Committee and subsequently appointed by the GNSO Council.
The SG/C Chairs initiated a second Expression of Interest process to identify an additional GNSO representative to serve on the CRG. The SSC was tasked with reviewing Expressions of Interest and recommending a candidate for GNSO Council approval. On 12 April 2021, the SSC submitted its full consensus recommendation that the GNSO Council appoint Donna Austin, by way of submission of the relevant Motion.
