Registrars:

As you know, we will be having a vote on the RC Budget in August.  We also need to hold an election for two of our GNSO seats effective in October.  Therefore, we decided to put both the budget vote and the election on one ballot according to the following schedule:

July 12 – Treasurer published proposed budget

July12 – July 15 – Chair moved for acceptance of the budget; motion is endorsed by three members

July 20 – Chair calls for nominations for 2 GNSO Representatives

July 20 – August 3^rd – Nomination period open

August 3 – Formal discussion period on the budget closes

August 3 – Candidate acceptances of nominations and conflict of interest statements are due

August 8 – August 11 – Secretary to publish ballot on budget and open positions for inspection and correction

August 13 – Secretary to call the vote and open ballot

August 13-23 – Ballot open

August 24 – Secretary announces results

I soon will send out a formal call for nominations for the two available positions.

Thanks.

Jon
