Re: [gnso-improvem-impl-sc] REMINDER: Election/Selection of Chair and Vice Chair for 2015

[Amr Elsadr <aelsadr@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

If there are no nominations made before today’s deadline, I was wondering if an 
extension to the nominating period could be set, even if just for a few days. I 
am personally working on making one, but would like some time to confer with 
the NCUC membership first.

Thanks.

Amr
