[council] GNSO-vote

[Cary Karp <ck@nic.museum>]

The Chair of the Council posted a message on 17 Feb approving a
request for a 24 hour extension of the deadline for the submission of
ballots. Was the subsequent posting of a reminder ballot with the
initial deadline an oversight or has the Chair's decision been
rescinded in some further action about which I have received no
notification?

Agreed.

It will save time on the call if we can get all the votes in before 20
Feb.

     voting yes or no.
