[ALAC] SHORT Consensus Call: Fellowship Selection Criteria

Fri Sep 7 18:46:28 UTC 2018

I write this message with some frustration!

Knowing that we were on a tight timeline, I 
delegated the formulation of this to the SC on 
O&E and explicitly asked ALAC Members who had an 
interest to work with their O at E Co-Chairs and regional O&E members.

Apparently that has not happened.

I have asked for and received an extension for 
submitting this document. Therefore:

1. I am terminating this Consensus Call.

2. I have asked Maureen to work with the SC on 
O&E *AND* others who have expressed an interest 
to provide a new version of the document by no 
later than 23:59 UTC on Wednesday, 12 September 2018.

3. I will then initiate a VERY SHORT Consensus 
Call to allow us to submit the final document on 
Friday, 14 September 2018.  If more time is 
wanted for the consensus call, please ensure that 
the final document is delivered earlier.
