Dear all,

No objections were raised against extending the deadline to 29 July 2010 in line with my email below. Accordingly, please be informed that the extension will be announced shortly on the ICANN web site.

Very best regards

Olof

 

 

Dear Heather and all,

Thanks for the suggestion! It seems quite appropriate to extend the deadline, also in view of the rather limited  number of candidates registered so far.

 

Unless I receive any objection to it before tomorrow, 15 July at 12.00 (noon) UTC, we will post an extension of the deadline to 29 July.

 

Very best regards

Olof

Dear all,

I have received some feedback from the GAC regarding the July 15th deadline for putting forward candidates to the review teams on WHOIS and DNS security and would like to propose an extension of 11 days (July 26) or 2 weeks (July 29).  At this stage it seems unlikely that there will be any "GAC" candidates proposed by the 15th. 

Hopefully, an extended deadline would still allow the ICANN constituencies sufficient time to review the list of candidates and determine who to endorse before the Selectors make the final selections at the beginning of September.  This new deadline would also allow the Selectors to finalize the composition of the RTs before the nominations deadline passes -- which would be preferable from a process point of view.

Thoughts?

Thanks,
Heather
