Subject:
Updated Randomness sources for the IETF 2021-2022 Nomcom Selection
Modified the date for Random source #2 so it is also drawn after the 
"Deadline for raising issues on the qualified volunteers list" (Monday, July 5, 2021). 
In the initial announcement only source #1 was drawn after that deadline.
This represents some extra days in the schedule, so the timelines have been updated at
https://datatracker.ietf.org/nomcom/2021/

* Thursday, July 8, 2021: Random selection results announced. Challenge period begins
