As part of that process - three council members were elected and two members are to be appointed by the GCP Working Group (WG) who are subject to reconfirmation by the DAO. All Council Members need to be re-elected after a 1 year tenure regardless of elected or nominated status.

The two nominated Council members up for reconfirmation are Tim Chang and John Kennedy.
