That doesn’t work for the GNSO.  SGs need 21 days to endorse their candidates and then time is needed for the Council to act, including possibly adding one or two to the slate to improve diversity.  We might need two Council meetings for the latter.

 

If the deadline for SO/AC endorsements is still the end of August, then the extension for the GNSO does not work and the original application deadline should apply for GNSO applicants.

 

On something of this nature, a 24-hour reactive response is unacceptable.   An affirmative response should have been requested.  The fact that the SOAC list did not work is evidence that it didn’t work.

Chuck,

Oh well, the straightforward answer is that the overall time plan remains unchanged - to have the list of SO/AC endorsed candidates ready by the end of August, in order to enable selection and then launch of the RTs before October (as is the formal requirement). Hence my call to the SOAC list for any objections within a 24 hour window before accepting Heather's/GAC late request for an extension. None such was received and the extension granted.

Now, seemingly the SOAC list didn't work and you didn't receive that message - and we're in a squeeze as regards your 45 days, should there be late applications requesting GNSO endorsement. While Alice and I promise to continue forwarding all GNSO applications to you immediately upon receipt, I can only ask you for your best effort in meeting the overall timeline as above.

Very best regards

Olof

Olof,

 

Am I correct in assuming that the GNSO will still have 45 days after 29 July to complete its endorsements?

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

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

Subject: Deadline for putting forward candidates for Review Teams

 

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
