[council] FW: Affirmation reviews / deadline for RT applications / possible further extension

Thu Feb 18 12:50:07 UTC 2010

Note that another extension for AoC A&T RT volunteers will be announced
today. Please ignore the typo in the message below.  The application
deadline will be 7 March (not 7 Feb) and the GNSO endorsement deadline
will be 17 March, the Wednesday after the Nairobi meetings.

Many thanks for your reactions, I would like to confirm that we'll
surely organize this extension, which will be announced tomorrow. The
announcement will only mention the closing date for sending in
applications, while there will be no mention to the deadline for SO/ACs
to send their endorsement, as to avoid misunderstandings. 

The date of 7th February was proposed by GNSO so as the Council can
consider candidatures while in Nairobi, with the request to not delay it
any further, while Chris underlines the value of Nairobi for the
identification of candidates.

I think that both remarks are fully legitimate, even if your different
needs make it difficult to find a compromise.  If you'll be able to find
a solution which works better for the whole of you along the lines that
we discussed, please let me know by tomorrow mid morning CET, otherwise
I will proceed with the announcement; the new deadline(s) -subject to
final green light from Selectors- will therefore be:

* 7 March - deadline for candidatures to be sent to the general email
address

* 17 March - deadline for the SO/ACs to provide the 'endorsement' of
candidatures

Obviously, staff will forward you all applications received mentioning
your respective SO/ACs as already agreed.

Best regards

Marco

Marco,

I will go with this if CLO and Chuck are fine. The only point I would
make is that the 7th means no opportunity to discuss candidature,
encourage good people etc actually in person at ICANN meeting.

Chris, Cheryl, GNSO suggested a third option, namely

* 7 March - deadline for candidatures to be sent to the general email
address

* 17 March - deadline for the Council to provide the 'endorsement' of
candidatures

This is not really dissimilar from what preferred by ALAC (7-15).

Unless you have strong preferences for your suggestion, I would go for
this option.

Thanks

Marco,

I think that the opportunity to discuss in Nairobi is likely to be the
best that can be done to get good people to volunteer. For that reason
I'd suggest the later deadline. 

However to allow enough time for nominations to be endorsed straight
after the ICANN meeting whilst people are still travelling, I'd
recommend that the deadline for candidatures be 11th and for endorsement
17th.

Cheers,

Importance: High

Chris, in agreement with Janis and Peter I would like to explore with
you if a further and consistent extension of the applications for
membership in the first Review Team could alleviate your time pressure
and result in a higher number of qualified candidatures.

The new deadlines can be as follows (two alternative hypothesis):

* 7 March - deadline for candidatures to be sent to the general email
address 

* 15 March - deadline for ccNSO to provide the 'endorsement' of
candidatures

OR

* 13 March - deadline for candidatures to be sent to the general email
address 

* 17 March - deadline for ccNSO to provide the 'endorsement' of
candidatures

Please let me know as soon as possible what is your preferred option,
and feel free to share this email internally 

Best regards

Marco
