<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">The GNSO Chair 2019 election timeline was part of the AOB agenda item on the GNSO Council meeting held on Thursday 16 May 2019. Due to lack of time, AOB was not covered.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">As you may be aware, the GNSO Chair election timeline usually follows the GNSO Operating Procedures guidelines. As mentioned during the GNSO Council meeting in Barcelona, funded traveler names now need to
be submitted 120 days prior to the meeting rather than the previous 90-day deadline. Staff has therefore adjusted the two first lines of the below timeline table to match the 5<sup>th</sup> July 2019 deadline for the Annual General Meeting. Stakeholder group
and constituency leadership teams and secretariats were informed of the new funded traveler deadlines when they were announced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt">From the third line of the timeline onwards, the dates are in keeping with the GNSO Operating Procedures. This timeline will also be circulated to the stakeholder group leadership teams and secretariats.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
