> Please note that the AoC RT Selectors for the SSR & Whois RTs agreed to my request for an extension of the deadline for SO/AC endorsements to 12 September 2010.  That is consistent with the extension to the application period to 29 July, thereby giving the GNSO 45 days for our endorsement process as originally planned.
> 
> With these two extensions, the GNSO endorsement timeline is as follows:
> 
> *	29 July - End of application period
> *	19 August - Due date for SG input (SG primary endorsements + additional candidates supported for diversity purposes)
> *	26 August - Council meeting
> *	8 September - Council meeting
> *	12 September - GNSO endorsement slate due to Selectors.
> 
> Please make sure that your respective groups are aware of this information.

> Thanks, Chuck

> As you can see in the email string below, On Monday of this week, I asked Councilors to respond if they had any objections to extending the due date for GNSO AoC SSR & Whois RTs to 12 September.  No objections were received one conditional statement of support was received from Wolf-Ulrich Knoben.
> 
> It is very important for me to be able to communicate to the GNSO community whether the extension of the SO/AC deadline for submission of endorsements for the two teams will be extended to 12 September.  Please let us know as soon as possible.

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.
