Hi Stephane and GNSO colleagues, A couple of other factors to consider: 1. Vice chairs will need to be elected (by each of the houses I believe) so I think we will need to ensure that a timetable is in place for that. 2. We should also consider the eventuality that a chair is not elected and perhaps be prepared for that in our planning.
