**Reminder, 14 October 2024 – Houses Submit Nominees

 

Dear Contracted Party House Chairs,

 

 Please see below the GNSO Chair election timeline for the 2024 GNSO Chair election. We are sharing ahead of the announcement deadline in order to allow for more flexible election scheduling.

Traditionally the timeline is built in keeping with GNSO Operating Procedures guidelines, but with the funded traveler submission deadline now being 120 days prior to the meeting (instead of 90 days), we have had to adapt the first two steps of the timeline. This now fits in with the 12 July 2024as submission deadline for funded traveler names for ICANN81.

 

The remaining steps however are in keeping with the GNSO Operating Procedures, counting back from the election date.

 

Please let me know if you have any questions. 

 

Kind regards,

 

Terri
