This is a bit confusing since if someone were applying "through" their SO it'd presumably go to <a href="mailto:gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org">gnso.secretariat@gnso.icann.org</a>, as I gather Eric and Victoria did. Hence, our earlier version said send it to the GNSO secretariat. That's now been changed to follow ICANN's instructions. Since Marco says he doesn't have the bandwidth to gather and place all apps via all SO/ACs on the web, it's not entirely obvious what purpose is served by the extra step, but given the very short turnaround time hopefully the apps will be quickly passed to Glen for posting and notification of the Council and relevant SG chairs.</div><div><br></div><div>Cheers,</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br><div><div>On Feb 17, 2010, at 12:15 AM, Gomes, Chuck wrote:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><blockquote type="cite"><div lang="EN-US" vlink="purple" link="blue" style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div dir="ltr" align="left"><span class="885450923-16022010"><font face="Arial" color="#0000ff" size="2">I accepted all the formatting changes in both of these documents to make them cleaner and then made some additional deletions and edits that are shown in the attached two files.
