Hi all, I agree with extending the deadline a couple of days beyond the comment period. I wouldn't be surprised if there were also comments about the Public Expert Group. Jeanette Am 09.09.14 05:24, schrieb Janis Karklins:
Brian,
The alignment of dates of two parallel processes seems natural in absence of any other strict deadlines. Community attention will be focuses of comments to accountability framework and related call for advisors.
But as our initial idea of bringing selected advisors to ICANN 51 meeting is not feasible (as a result of the extension of the deadline) nothing prevents us from further extension of the deadline of the call if we won't have enough proposals.
Best regards JK

Jeanette, Janis and Larry,
I am copying you individually and the public-experts group email list for purposes of transparency. While this discussion about extending the deadline may seem like a simple administrative matter, our agreement is to conduct our activities on a “default open” basis unless there is a clear reason to conduct activities in closed session. I realized the prior emails had not been copied to the public-experts group list and wanted to address that matter.
Below is a draft extension of the Call for Candidates from Grace for our consideration. I am fine with the extension and I have a question about the extension. As drafted, it would close the call for candidates on the same day the public comment period on the accountability process would close. Is anything substantive “lost” by closing the call on the same day the comments close? If so, closing the call beyond the close of the comment period, even if for a matter of a few days to fully consider any comments received late in the process, could make sense. What are your views? Thank you.
Brian

How's this?
*EXTENDED — Call for Candidates: Seeking Advisors to the ICANN Accountability & Governance Coordination Group*
In light of the 6 – 27 September <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-08-2014-09-05-en>public comment period <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-08-2014-09-05-en> on the Enhancing ICANN Accountability and Governance Process, the Public Experts Group has decided to extend its Call for Candidates <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en>. The original due date of 10 September is now 27 September at 23:59 UTC, so as to align with the close of the public comment period. With the exception of date, all other elements of the Call for Candidates <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en> remain the same. For more information on how to submit a nomination, please see here <https://www.icann.org/news/announcement-2014-08-28-en>.
I can submit this as a new announcement so that the information is sent out through our announcement system (social media, email, etc), but I also suggest updating the actual Call with the new date and a message about the Extension at the top.

Grace, can you prepare what would be an announcement of the extension for sign-off by Larry, Janis, Jeanette and Brian.
Thanks
