Dear members: Here is a proposed schedule for the next few months. It is a critical time because we need to have elections and develop a new charter/constitution for the emerging "noncommercial stakeholders group" envisaged by the GNSO reform process. Chair and Exec Committee have to execute this but I may as well send it to the entire list for comment: Charter ======= Draft of new NCUC/NCSG charter : develop Sept 1 - October 15. Elections ========= Nominations open September 15, Monday, close Friday October 10 Positions open: - Chair - All 5 Regional EC positions - 2 Council seats Voting begins October 13, open until October 20 Results announced October 22. The new officers would be in place for the Cairo meeting; however the old Council members would continue to serve until the end of the Cairo meeting.
