Dear Number Council members,
Time flew remarkably quickly until now since I was appointed to Seat 10 in 2016. I chose to share my thought with you in the earliest chance that I will not file my candidacy for the third term. I am grateful that you appointed me twice in 2016 and then in 2019.
ICANN Board position is tough, never easy but rewarding and precious experience. I will try my best in the time left until the term end.
E-see you around but looking forward to seeing you in person soon!!
Sincerely Yours,
Akinori

Hi German, thanks for the update.
I am okay with the proposed timeline.
regarding you comments bellow:
Another important aspect to have in mind, Easter festivities in 2022 starts with Good Friday on 15 April. Depending on people cultural backgrounds and customs we could have members on holidays on the week before during the deliberation period and when the ASO AC must meet to review the accumulated documentation of each candidate or during the week after which coincides with the voting phase. IN any case any member affected should plan accordingly or changes in the timeline should be adopted now before publication.
I think is a reasonable concern.
for the deliberation we would have two weeks and we might pre schedule two meetings in advance (1st and 2nd wed in that two weeks period), and use them if needed.
so we could adjust our calendar accordingly in advance.
for voting, I don´t think it would be a bigger issue as it is an asynchronous action and it would be a matter of one to reserve a couple of minutes in that 7 calendar days time frame.

Dear ASO AC
Following discussion of the last ASO AC teleconference here is an updated timeline. By checking the ASO procedures the below changes are included
- New nomination period ends on December 1^st , as suggested in the teleconference
- Comment phase ends at the same time that the Interview Phase (30 March 2022)
- Interview phase has a maximum of 60 calendar days. I took as reference the ending day of the original proposal so it starts now on 29 January 2022
- As consequence of the change of the start of the interview phase the comment phase, as per procedure, should start 30 days before so now is scheduled for 30 December 2021.
We have now a gap between the conclusion of the nomination phase and the start of the comment phase of almost a month (1 – 30 December), there is enough time to adjust outreach activities or prepare the interview phase.Nomination phase should be at least 60 calendar days so can be extended as much as we want, if you decide to do so.
– Nomination Phase: Wed 15 September 2021 – Wed 1 December 2021 – Comment Phase: Thu 30 December 2021 – Wed 30 March 2022
ICANN Due Diligence for nominated candidates:
– Interview Phase: Sat 29 January 2022 – Wed 30 March 2022 – Selection Phase (deliberation): Friday 1 April – Sat 16 April 2022 – Selection Phase (voting): Tue 19 – Mon 25 April 2022 – Announcement of selected candidate: around Sat 30 April 2022
Another important aspect to have in mind, Easter festivities in 2022 starts with Good Friday on 15 April. Depending on people cultural backgrounds and customs we could have members on holidays on the week before during the deliberation period and when the ASO AC must meet to review the accumulated documentation of each candidate or during the week after which coincides with the voting phase. IN any case any member affected should plan accordingly or changes in the timeline should be adopted now before publication.
Looking forward to receiving your feedback and comments
