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

[<KnobenW@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Chuck,

that could be accepted but should also be communicated as "conditio sine qua 
non" meaning it being essential for the SG and GNSO evaluation process having 
the time available as agreed before.


Thanks and best regards
Wolf-Ulrich

Betreff: RE: [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.

Chuck
