[council] FW: Affirmation reviews / deadline for RT applications / possible further extension

Thu Feb 18 13:44:35 UTC 2010

Hi

Ok, the dates in the action plan and motion need tweaking (process doc is unaffected).  If apps are due the 7th and Council selections are due the 17th, 

*When shall we say SGs must get in their nominations?  The 10th, after constituency day?
*Evaluation Team to submit its analysis to Council 14th? (gives them two days after the meeting)
*Special Council call for the vote on the 15th?  (We might want some wiggle room before the endorsement deadline in the event the first round results in inadequate diversity and the ET needs a day or two to work something out in consultation with the SGs)

The announcement will only mention the closing date for sending in applications, while there will be no mention to the deadline for SO/ACs to send their endorsement, as to avoid misunderstandings.
> The date of 7th February was proposed by GNSO so as the Council can consider candidatures while in Nairobi, with the request to not delay it any further, while Chris underlines the value of Nairobi for the identification of candidates.
> I think that both remarks are fully legitimate, even if your different needs make it difficult to find a compromise.  If you’ll be able to find a solution which works better for the whole of you along the lines that we discussed, please let me know by tomorrow mid morning CET, otherwise I will proceed with the announcement; the new deadline(s) –subject to final green light from Selectors- will therefore be:
> * 7 March – deadline for candidatures to be sent to the general email address
> * 17 March – deadline for the SO/ACs to provide the ‘endorsement’ of candidatures
> Obviously, staff will forward you all applications received mentioning your respective SO/ACs as already agreed.
