Dear All ? Contracted Parties House & Non Contracted Parties House,



Timetable for the election of the GNSO Council chair

http://gnso.icann.org/en/elections/proposed-council-chair-03sep15-en.pdf


Reminder, nominations are due 25 September 23:59 UTC!



Nomination Process ? September to October 2015

Per the GNSO Operating Procedures (Section 2.2.b):



?Each house will be allowed to nominate one candidate for GNSO Council
Chair. Each house is responsible for determining how to nominate its
candidate.?



A candidate for GNSO Council Chair does not need to be a member of the
house nominating the candidate. Further, should the non-voting Nominating
Committee appointee (NCA) be elected as chair, he/she would be a non-voting
chair. The two houses may separately select the same candidate from the
pool of available candidates if they so wish.

To allow for the possibility of a timely Council election process at the
annual meeting in Dublin, each house of the Council is asked to submit its
nominee for the GNSO Council Chair, for the term commencing at the end of
the 2015 ICANN Annual Meeting, not later than *23h59UTC on 25 September
2015*.



House nominations for Council Chair should be sent to (
gnso.secretariat at gnso.icann.org).  The GNSO Secretariat will transmit each
House?s nomination to the Council list as soon as it is received.

Nominees shall then submit a candidacy statement in writing to the GNSO
Secretariat (gnso.secretariat at gnso.icann.org) as soon as possible after
they have been selected by their house and not later than *23:59 UTC on 02
October 2015*.



*Procedure in Dublin ? October 2015*

Each candidate will have the opportunity of meeting with the GNSO Council
during the open GNSO working sessions in Dublin over the course of the
weekend of 17/18 October 2015 (remote participation possible).



Election of the chair by voting of the Council will take place during the
Council meeting in Dublin on Wednesday, 21 October 2015.



In order for the vote to take place, the Council meeting will be split in
two parts:

?       Standard, open and public Council meeting with the current Council.

?       Adjourn the meeting

?       Re-seat the Council with the new Councilors.

?       Re-start new meeting, with one specific agenda item:
Election of the Chair



The current chair term ends at end of 2015 Annual General Meeting (AGM).
The current Chair will therefore run the public council meeting and the
Thursday wrap-up meeting on 22 October 2015. The new Chair's first meeting
will be the first teleconference immediately following the 2015 AGM.



 Please let me know if you have any questions.



Thank you.

Kind regards,



Glen
