  • Thread-topic: [council] EXTENSION OF DEADLINE - Call for Applicants for a Position of Volunteer Review Team Member - 29 July 2010

I have received very little feedback on the following.  Is anyone opposed to 
the extension of the GNSO endorsement deadline to 12 September instead of 31 
August?  If I do not see any objections by the end of the day on Tuesday, 19 
July, I will communicate with Olof that this seems like a workable plan and see 
if we can get official approval of it.
