Glen can inform us of what the required time frames are, and the Council resolution to appoint Bruce as interim chair can provide for a week, or two weeks, depending on what is needed for an election. -----Original Message----- From: owner-council@gnso.icann.org [mailto:owner-council@gnso.icann.org] On Behalf Of Bruce Tonkin Sent: Sunday, November 26, 2006 5:57 PM To: Council GNSO Subject: [council] Election of GNSO Council chair Hello All, Please note that my current term as GNSO Council chair, expires on 3 Dec 2006. From: http://gnso.icann.org/meetings/minutes-gnso-21dec05.shtml "Decision 1: Bruce Tonkin elected as GNSO Council chair for the period 4 January 2006 to 3 December 2006." My apologies for not remembering to check this earlier. Given this is a week away, I am not sure how the Council would like to handle the election. One option would be for the Council to appoint me during a Council meeting in Sao Paulo as an interim chair for a week, while we go through the formal process of calling for nominations etc. Any comments/suggestions? Thanks, Bruce Tonkin
