Dear All, As discussed in Buenos Aires during the wrap-up session, please find below the draft GNSO Chair election timetable that Glen has put together based on previous timetables. The Council is expected to discuss and possibly adopt this timeline or a modified version thereof during its upcoming meeting on 23 July so you are encouraged to share any comments you may have with the mailing list. As a reminder, 'each house will be allowed to nominate one candidate for GNSO Council Chair. Each house is responsible for determining how to nominate its candidate. A candidate for GNSO Council Chair does not need to be a member of a house, but must be a member of the GNSO Council'. For further information, please see section 2.2 of the GNSO Operating Procedures (GNSO Operating Procedures v2.9 (13 November 2014)<http://gnso.icann.org/en/council/op-procedures-13nov14-en.pdf>. Best regards, Marika Draft GNSO Chair Election Timetable * 25 September - deadline for nominations * 2 October - candidate statements * 17/18 October - Q & A with candidates * 21 October - GNSO Chair Election
