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.
