[council] EXTENSION OF DEADLINE - Call for Applicants for a Position of Volunteer Review Team Member - 29 July 2010

[Olof Nordling]

Dear Chuck,
It so happens that there is an error in the recently posted announcement - it still displays on the front page with a deadline of 15 July - so we need to make a correction anyway. I suggest that we in this correction explicitly and clearly exclude GNSO applications from the extension. Would that be satisfactory? We could also make an additional announcement stating that "Call for GNSO applications is closed", if you prefer.

I also copy this to the SOAC list (that should work now, I've been assured).

Very best regards
Olof

Unless further notified to the contrary, this extension will not apply to GNSO candidates.  The deadline for candidates requesting GNSO endorsements remains today, 15 July.  I have been told that the GNSO must still provide its endorsements by the end of August; we were already in a time crunch for implementing our process, it would be impossible to follow the approved process with this extension or probably for any extension.

I apologize for any confusion this may create, but as long as our endorsements are due by the end of August, I see no other alternative.
