[ispcp] Nomination for GNSO Council representatives

[tony holmes]

Dear ISPCP members

 

Following closure of the nomination period on 22nd September, only one
candidate had been nominated and seconded, Wolf-Ulrich Knoben.

 

That leaves the other Council position open. I'm aware from conversations
with many of you that the level of commitment required to participate
effectively as a GNSO Councillor often appears a little daunting, but it is
an extremely important role. On that basis I'd like to propose that the
nomination period is extended by one week, now ending on Thursday 29th
September at 23.99 UTC.

 

If required the election would then follow, commencing Monday 3rd October,
ending Friday 7th October at 23.99 UTC.

 

That still enables us to meet the requirement of announcing our new Council
representatives prior to the Dakar meeting and provides the additional
benefit of allowing further discussion and consideration by those members
eligible to stand for this important position.

 

Unless anyone raises an objection on the list, we will proceed with this
revised timetable. As before, please send all nominations to the ISPCP list.
If you require more information or wish to discuss any points related to
standing for election you are also welcome to contact me off list.

 

Thank You

 

Tony
