<div><font face="Calibri,sans-serif">Thanks Wolf-Ulrich for your feedback. Maybe I can turn the question around and share with you the original timeline for the election which was approved by the GNSO Council following review and discussion (see </font><a href="http://gnso.icann.org/en/drafts/gnso-council-chair-election-24jul15-en.pdf">Proposed
time table for Election of the GNSO Council Chair</a>)<span style="font-family: Calibri, sans-serif;">? It may be helpful for everyone to review and provide feedback in hindsight whether the timing should have been different factoring in some of the elements
you outline below so it can help inform future election time lines?</span></div>
