The current Liaison to the SSAC, Julie Hammer, is stepping down and
the ALAC is soliciting volunteers as possible replacements.
The ALAC Liaison to the SSAC is a full SSAC member and as such, the
ALAC will only suggest possible candidates to the SSAC, subject to
their decision to admit the person in accordance with their own rules
and processes.
Among the characteristics to be considered by the ALAC in considering
possible volunteers are:
- Technical knowledge of the Internet and DNS;
- Knowledge of and prior experience with security and stability issues.
- Knowledge of the ALAC and the ability to consult with and speak on
its behalf;
- Maturity, good judgement and diplomacy.
- Willingness to act as the ALAC Liaison in addition to SSAC internal
responsibilities
Prospective volunteers are encouraged to review:
- SSAC overview at
<https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac>https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac.
- SSAC Introduction pointed to in above page.
- SSAC Operational Procedures pointed to in above page, with a
specific focus on section 2.3 on New Member Selection.
- SSAC Reports at
<https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac/documents>https://www.icann.org/groups/ssac/documents
Process to be followed:
- from among the volunteers, one preferred candidate will be selected
by the ALAC Appointee Selection Committee (AASC) with the assistance
of Julie, subject to ratification by the ALAC. Alternate candidates
may also be selected. An interview may be included as part of the
selection process.
- The SSAC will be informed of the selection and the preferred
candidates will formally apply to the SSAC as per SSAC operational procedures.
- If the SSAC accepts the preferred candidate, that person will be
designated the ALAC Liaison to the SSAC.
- If the SSAC does not accept the preferred candidate, either a
backup candidate may be presented to the ALAC for ratification and
will formally apply to the SSAC as per SSAC operational procedures,
or the call for volunteers may be reopened.
As the process within SSAC is quite a substantial one and must be
scheduled after other applications already in process, the date by
which the appointment will be concluded cannot be determined, but it
is hoped that the entire process will be completed before the end of 2017.
Expressions of Interest addressing the characteristics above should
be submitted to At-Large Staff
<<mailto:staff at atlarge.icann.org>staff at atlarge.icann.org> no later
than 23:59 on Tuesday, 26 September 2017.

Chair, ALAC
