From: Bart Boswinkel Sent: Monday, November 4, 2013 5:14 PM To: ccnso-council@icann.org Subject: [ccnso-council] DECISION NEEDED BY COB UTC 5 NOVEMBER: Extension Nomination period for the NA region Dear all, The nomination period to the ccNSO Council closed today 4 November at 00.00 UTC and we did not receive any nomination or secondment for the North American region. In two cases we did not receive a nomination in time in the past, and we have handled the situation differently: In 2009, there was no nomination for the European region – the Council decided to extend the nomination period for all regions. In 2012, there was no nomination for the North American region – the nomination period for the North American region only was extended. I suggest that we extend the nomination period for the North American region only, until Saturday, 9 November 00.00 UTC. unless someone objects by Tuesday, 5 October 5 pm UTC, ONLY the nomination period for the North American region will be extended until Saturday, 9 November 00.00 UTC., assuming of course the NA council members will nominate and second a candidate. Kind regards, Bart
