GNSO Chair election timeline Deadlines Not Later Than: Activity Commences: 17 February 2022 Summer ICANN Meeting and/or dependency on new travel deadlines Announce Proposed Procedure and Timeline 20 May 2022 (ICANN75 funded traveler name submission deadline) T – 60 Days and/or dependency on new travel deadlines NomCom Selectees Announced SG/C New Council Members Announced House Nominee Selection 22 August 2022 T – 30 Days Houses Submit Nominees 3 September 2022 T – 18 Days Candidates Submit Statements 18 September 2022 T – 3 Days Candidate Meetings 21 September 2022 T Election Held at Annual General Meeting 23 September 2022 T + 2 Days Council informs the Board & Community and posts election results on the GNSO website 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 20th May 2022 as submission deadline for funded traveler names for ICANN75. 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. Thank you, Nathalie
