Dear Contracted Party House Chairs,

  

As per the ICANN Bylaws[icann.org], Section 7.8.d. “At least six months before the date specified for the commencement of the term as specified in Section 7.8(a)(iv) through Section 7.8(a)(vi) above, any Supporting Organization or the At-Large Community entitled to nominate a Director for a Seat with a term beginning that year shall give the EC Administration (with a copy to the Secretary and the Decisional Participants) written notice of its nomination of Directors for seats with terms beginning at the conclusion of the annual meeting, and the EC Administration shall promptly provide the Secretary (with a copy to the Decisional Participants) with written notice of the designation of those Directors. All such notices shall be posted promptly to the Website.”

 

With that in mind, staff has prepared a tentative timeline below in accordance with the GNSO Operating Procedures 2.4.2. Please note this has been produced taking into account maximum duration possible for each time slot. Election results need therefore to be communicated before the 9th March 2021 GNSO Council meeting at the very latest as this is the last opportunity for Council to vote its approval before the final deadline for notification to the Empowered Community Administration.
