RE: [gnso-arr-dt] Call for Applicants for the Position of Volunteer Review Team Member

["Caroline Greer" <cgreer@xxxxxxxxx>]

My preference would be to go about this in a more structured way. Otherwise, we 
issue a call, three people (example number) step forward and where does that 
leave us?

One approach that was suggested by Kristina yesterday and which I quite like 
the more I think about it, would be to have each of the 4 SGs in the GNSO 
nominate a representative (having been through their own internal call and 
evaluation process) and then let the Selectors choose one RT member from that 
pool. That RT member would then represent the GNSO and not its SG. 

My concern is the tight timeline. Perhaps we ought to arrange another call to 
discuss this element of the project (we focused more on our comments on the 
Proposal yesterday).

Caroline.

I agree.  It seems that the call for volunteers is more flexible than an 
allocation of candidates as discussed yesterday.

Thanks Chuck.
Maybe you talked about this yesterday, if this is the case apologies.
Wy don´t we start by making a call for volunteers in the GNSO and see
how many of us are willing to serve as members of the review teams?
At the same time we can work on the procedures.
Regards
Olga
