Dear CSC members, According to the schedule, the SOs and ACs must submit their liaison and member candidates for the CSC to ICANN by 22 July. As I notified you via separate email, the GNSO Council approved James Gannon as the GNSO CSC Liaison yesterday and the GNSO Secretariat will send the notification to ICANN today. ICANN will then send the full slate of members and candidates to the ccNSO and GNSO (via the Secretariats and copy to the Chairs) for consideration on 23 July. I have asked to be included in copy if possible. The GNSO CSC Selection Committee has a call scheduled for 90 minutes on Sunday, 24 July at 2100 UTC. (See invite sent separately.) In preparation for that meeting please see the timeline of events as follows: 19 July: Submit candidate to the GNSO Council for consideration at its meeting on 21 July (with motion submitted per the deadline on 11 July). (DONE) 21 July: GNSO Council approves liaison candidate. (DONE) 22 July: GNSO Secretariat sends liaison candidate to ICANN.
