Dear Councillors,

 

As discussed last week during our call, we need to decide on the nomination and election schedule for the special European region election.

As discussed, we have two options:

 

Option 1: start the Special Council election this month with the goal to interview candidates in Panama.

Option 2: run the Special Council election in parallel with the regular Council election (start in September 2018) and interview all candidates in Barcelona.

 

Resolutions for both options are given below. If you prefer Option 1, please let the list know as soon as possible, but no later than 9 May 2018, 23.59 UTC by responding ‘In favor of Option 1’.  If you prefer Option 2, please inform the list accordingly with ‘In favor of Option 2’.

 

I would appreciate all your votes, i.e. at least explicitly state that you abstain. Nigel already indicated his abstention during the call. Thank you!

 

Kind regards,
