Kathy raises a good point with regard to January 3 and the holiday
period.
Can we have agreement on January 10th please so we can get the notice
out?
If I don't hear otherwise, I will arrange with Elisabeth to send it out
by
tomorrow, Tuesday 23rd, close of business CET.

Likewise, I'd like to suggest that discussion on the nomination
procedure
for the GA chair begin as soon as possible, since we need to post a
decision
by the November 26th.

A minimum of 45 days. (That's six weeks). The reason is that many
non-internet organisations outside the US move much slower than
internet time. (I am thinking of lawyers and other organisation
outside the US, who may have particular comments).

10 weeks seems generous.

I would propose eight weeks or 2 calendar months.
