I have 3 conf calls on the 31st now so if the 1st works for you I'd prefer it.  Could others here make a call then, e.g. somewhere in the 12-16:00 UTC window?  I'm not going to put up a Doodle unless there's a few indications of possible participation.

I don't understand, this is an admin process, and Tapani seems to have it under control.  What would the EC need to get consensus on?  And what would count as consensus…the three of us who reply to email?

Great.  I don't want to do another bilateral discussion with Brian while folks sit there, doesn't look too good to the body charged with assessing accountability etc.

Be it the proposal to run a centralised WHOIS database or ICANN's recent involvement with the child porn bust this organisation is starting to do the type of thing that, in part, caused the former Chair to be let go. If we can work it into the overall concept of your p.c. I think such discussion would be valuable.

Noted, let's see how the group that develops the thing sizes up the options when we get there

I could be interested

Nope but thanks

Ok so if nobody else has input I will send to the members and get it on the record

Thanks for the reply
