Given that our Asia Pacific rep is on the US east coast this year, finding a time slot that is workable for everyone hopefully will not be too difficult. Pranesh and Roy are UTC -5, Carlos is UTC -2, Stefania and I are UTC +1, and Grace is UTC +3, so I guess we should shoot first for a slot that’s between 8:00-11:00 EST so everyone out of bed in the US and not having dinner in Kenya. Monday’s probably too early for staff to set up the communications, and Wed./Friday are no good for me, so I’m proposing we try Tuesday 28 or Thursday 30. </div><div><br></div><div><b>I have set up a Doodle at <a href="http://doodle.com/kmunxhxaid5z8ccd">http://doodle.com/kmunxhxaid5z8ccd</a> I would greatly appreciate it if everyone could please respond ASAP so I can get this together with staff.</b></div><div><br></div><div>If neither of those dates works we will need to approve the appointments via an email meeting and should schedule a call for the following week to get the other stuff going.</div><div><br></div><div>Also, for the record—this doesn’t need any EC approval, but I may as well mention while here what prior mail suggests we agreed for our own internal division of labor (let me know if I lost the plot and there are corrections):</div><div><br></div><div><div>------------------</div><div><br></div><div><b>E-platform Team</b><br><br>Stefania to coordinate with help from Pranesh and Roy<br><br><b>Membership Affairs Team</b><br><br>TBD [soooo….anyone interested…?

Luckily, ICANN will pay for everything (which took some negotiating), but we’ll need to do the program (bringing in as much cross-community participation as possible on the panels), build the website (volunteers? :-), coordinate with staff on logistics etc. </div><div><br><b>Bylaws Revision Team</b><br><br>Carlos to coordinate</div><div><br></div><div><b>Finance Issues</b></div><div><br></div><div>To be done collectively in the EC, Bill leads, Roy offered to help</div><div><br></div><div><b>Communications Issues</b></div><div><br></div><div>To be done collectively in the EC— Stefania, Bill and others </div><div><br></div><div>——————————</div></div><div><br></div><div>Best</div><div><br></div><div>Bill</div><div><br></div><div><br></div></body></html>
