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

["Gomes, Chuck" <cgomes@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Note that the date of the September Council meeting is still under 
consideration and will hopefully be decided in the 5 August Council meeting.  
As it stands now, it will occur at the regularly scheduled date and time (16 
September, 11:00 UTC) instead of the 8 September date shown below.  A request 
was received to try to avoid the conflict of the Global IGF meeting on 14-17 
September; hence, the agenda item for 5 August.
