NCSG & ALAC @ Singapore

[William Drake]

Hi

ALAC staff secured a room for our meeting, I believe 18:30 in the VIP Lounge.  I'd very much encourage NC folks to attend if possible.  Afterwards, we can go for drinks and dinner.  We have identified a good restaurant prospect, a Balinese joint down on one of the quays where there's a bunch of restos and bars.  Now we need a head count so Mary can call and make a reservation.  Could people who'd like to join us please let me know, off line?

Thanks.

Bill

Last week it would have been timely.   And to think I was giving up on the g-council as a place where any compromise was possible.

Tuesday in Singapore may not work, but we may try to get something else together for this first meeting later in the week.  Perhaps what might work is getting the two executive committees (and perhaps other interested members) to meet informally in Singapore to talk about how to communicate better and how to arrange something more for the next meeting.

But now I can't help wondering if, despite the late date, we shouldn't  at least try to arrange a brief working meeting regarding some issues of common concern.  For example, on our call the other night, we discussed a couple possible action items that would be of direct relevance,
