Olga,
 
The IPC suggested changes so we are not in full agreement. See
Kristina's messages from today (Tuesday).

        Hi,
        why the regional diversity and gender balance is in brackets??
        This exactly the contrary to the what the AoC requirements are.
        I thought we already agreed on this text in our last conference
call.

                Following is a draft message that I would send to SG
Chairs as soon as we finalize the process we are going to send to the
Council.  The bracketed text indicates areas where we do not have
agreement yet.

                Message to SG Chairs

                Understanding that the process is still under
development, it is currently anticipated that on 18 February the GNSO
Council will be asked to approve a plan whereby the GNSO may endorse up
to six volunteers for the 2010 Affirmation of Commitments Accountability
and Transparency Review Team as follows:

                1.      Each stakeholder group will select one nominee.


                2.      Up to two additional nominees will be selected
by a simple majority vote of each house.  One of these slots will be
reserved for candidates who do not self-identify with any particular
stakeholder group, including NomCom appointees.

                If this plan is approved, all applications from
volunteers requesting GNSO endorsement would be forwarded to the SGs as
soon as possible after the application period closes on 22 February, and
not later than 25 February, the SGs would be requested to:

                a.       Endorse one [primary] candidate [and up to two
alternates] from the applications received and notify the GNSO
Secretariat of the same.  [At least one alternate must be of different
gender and from a different geographic region from the primary
candidate.]

                b.      Provide direction for their Councilors regarding
what candidates they should endorse for the two open endorsements
described in item 2 above

                c.       [Make best efforts to consider the geographical
and gender objectives for RT nominees.]
