Dear Councillors,

One of my actions items from the  last call was to define a timeline for the ccNSO NomCom appointee to replace Margarita, whose term expires before the Cartagena meeting.

The ccNSO doesn’t have any guidelines at all for this and all the NomCom is interested in, is to have a name about 1 month before Cartagena.

So I suggest to start a call on the 1st September and close it 2 weeks later, on the 14th September. If there is more than one volunteer, the Council will decide during the subsequent council call who will be appointed.

If there will be a suitable moment during the ccNSO meeting in Brussels, it could be mentioned that such a call will happen in September so that people can start thinking whether they would be interested. Perhaps Margarita also can say a few words on what the position requires.

If anyone disagrees with this suggested timeline, please let me know by Monday, 21st June – otherwise I take it as approved.

Thanks!

Gabi
