>  
> A GNSO Council motion has been made and seconded for action on 18 February to approve a plan whereby the GNSO may endorse up to six volunteers for the 2010 Affirmation of Commitments Accountability and Transparency Review Team as follows:
> 1.      Each stakeholder group will select one nominee. 
> 2.      Up to two additional nominees will be selected by a simple majority vote of each house.  One of these slots will be reserved for candidates who do not self-identify with any particular stakeholder group, including NomCom appointees.
>  
> If this plan is approved, all applications from volunteers requesting GNSO endorsement would be forwarded to the SGs as soon as possible after the application period closes on 22 February, and not later than 24 or 25 February (depending on whether a special Council meeting is scheduled for 25 or 26 February), the SGs would be requested to:
> a.       Endorse one [primary] candidate [and up to two alternates] from the applications received and notify the GNSO Secretariat of the same.  [At least one alternate must be of different gender and from a different geographic region from the primary candidate.][1]
> b.      Provide direction for their Councilors regarding what candidates they should endorse for the two open endorsements described in item 2 above.
>  
> With the understanding that the proposed plan could be amended on 18 February, anything you can do to prepare for the above tasks and facilitate success of the endorsement process will be greatly appreciated.  As you can tell, the SGs and the Council will have extremely short turn-around times for the above tasks.
>  
> If you have any questions, please let me know.

> [1] Bracketed text was added by the Council Chair and not approved by the GNSO DT that developed the proposed endorsement process.  The GNSO community and the GNSO Council will have just 2 to 3 days to review applications from volunteers requesting GNSO endorsement, so if the SGs can provide the two alternates as described in addition to a primary candidate, it could greatly facilitate Council final action on the endorsements on either 25 or 26 February.

> P.S. - In addressing this message, I realized that I was not sure who the NCSG and CSG chairs are so I included constituency leaders as best as I could determine so as to get this message out as soon as possible.  If I missed anyone, please forward this message right away.
