Hi all,
Since the original deadline is tomorrow, I suggest we finalize the text-announcement for the extension today. Does 30 September work? I've modified the draft text below (all links will be hyperlinked).

*EXTENDED < Call for Candidates: Seeking Advisors to the ICANN
     Accountability & Governance Coordination Group*

     In light of the 6  27 September
     <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-08-2014-09-05-en>public
     comment period
     <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-08-2014-09-05-en> on the
     Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance Process, the Public
     Experts Group has decided to extend its Call for Candidates
     <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en>. The
     original due date of 10 September is now 30 September at 23:59 UTC,
     so as to align with the close of the public comment period. With the
     exception of date, all other elements of the Call for Candidates
     <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en> remain the
     same. For more information on how to submit a nomination, please see
     here <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en>.
