approved the GNSO Chair election timetable and procedure that is published
in the revised

and the proposed time line and procedure has been published at:

The Chair election time line is attached and in summary, as follows:
As a reminder, 'each house will be allowed to nominate one candidate for GNSO Council Chair. Each house is responsible for determining how to nominate its candidate. A candidate for GNSO Council Chair does not need to be a member of a house, but must be a current or incoming member of the GNSO Council. Should the Chair be elected from outside of the houses, that Chair will be a non- voting Chair’.
