Dear All, Following up on my letter of 7th January 2013. The Call for Applicants is now closed and therefore we now have the complete list of applicants arising from within the GNSO. GNSO Council Vice Chair Wolf-Ulrich Knoben has kindly prepared a summary of the GNSO applicants (attached). According to the previously agreed procedure (attached), the Council now needs to consider the resulting list of up to four nominees (endorsed by the four stakeholder groups). The deadline for declaration of SO/AC endorsement is tight (28 January 2013) and the next GNSO Council teleconference is scheduled for tomorrow, 17th January 2013. Therefore, we have scheduled an additional teleconference on 21 January 2013 in order to specifically deal with this issue, if we have not been able to deal with it on 17 January 2013. Accordingly, if your stakeholder group is intending to endorse a candidate from the pool, please can you complete the process (by sending you endorsements to the GNSO secretariat) as soon as possible (and in any event before the 21 January 2013) so that the Council can complete the Process for GNSO Endorsement. Please note that if your SG does not endorse a candidate, the GNSO may be endorsing fewer than four nominees. Thank-you for your assistance with this.
