Thanks Olof. To allow time for Council action on the SG endorsements and any alternate candidates they might put forward to increase diversity, the Council would need the endorsements and any alternates in time for its meeting on 5 August. We have another meeting scheduled for 26 August but it seems to me that we may need two meetings to deal with this in case we decide on 5 August that we should try to increase the diversity. If I am correct on that, it would be wise for SGs to begin their process of considering applicants before the 15 July application deadline while not disadvantaging any applicants who apply toward the end of the application period.

Hope this answers the question raised - and apologies for my absence (the session was originally scheduled for early morning but eventually clashed with the ccNSO Review presentation - tried to send my virtual twin brother, but he refusedL) All the best Olof
