The ccNSO Council and RySG are to confirm their candidates by 10 September 2019. Note the ccNSO Council has already mandated the selection committee, and this can be done by email. the ccNSO and GNSO Council are expected to confirm the full slate by 15 September ( the original end-date), Approval and discussion of the selection report at the 19 September 2019 Council meeting. If there are objections, please reply to the list by 7 August 2019, 23.59 UTC. If no objections the Council will have approved the Guideline by 7 August. Thank you and kind regards, Bart
