RE: election of new chair

["Karl F. Best" <karl.best@oasis-open.org>]

XACML TC members:

I have been informed that a number of TC members are stranded in Boston
and may not be able to connect to email. Given the extraordinary
circumstances of the week I feel that it is certainly appropriate to
extend the schedule for the election of a new chair. As such, the
schedule will now be:

- nominations due by end of day 21 September (delay of one week)
- acceptance by nominee by EOD 24 Sept
- voting will take place starting 25 Sept and ending EOD 1 Oct.

If anyone has any complaints or problems with this plan please speak
now...
