[NCUC-EC] EC meeting?

We've had some foundational discussion of bylaws revision on the list, now we need to start putting things in motion.  I remain concerned about the timeline and what's going to be operationally feasible given the SIC's need to review and sign off (and potentially, ask for xyz tweaks which we then submit and wait some more to hear on)

Given that the Board SIC meets less than monthly that is a serious problem.



> and I've written to Rob Hoggarth asking for some clarification.  But regardless of our "due date," we need to get started and see how far we can move.  September-October are not great months at my end with a new semester, the IGF, etc., but I'll try to help things along.  Movement will definitely require engagement from the folks who expressed the strongest concerns about the bylaws and a prior desire to lead their revision.

The next few weeks are tight for me, but I have reasonably good availability from September 22nd through Buenos Aires and a desire to get this done.

I'm off to South America ( Santiago, BA, São Paulo) on Sunday for a little over a week, but with the exception of the 12th, 14th and 18th ( concert days)  I'll be available to meet whenever it is best for everybody else.

As to how to meet—if we really want the whole ICANN package with adobe and phone bridge and all that I'd have to request it in accordance with our Tool Kit application.   Alternatively, we could try something less formalized and staff-dependent, e.g. a Google Groups meeting.   I'd need a tad of training on the latter as I've never done one and am interested to learn.

I think the toolkit will certainly be needed for Bylaws meetings. For the EC I'm happy to go along with what everyone else prefers. The team meetings I ran on Skype were a bit of a technical disaster. Wilson's e-team meeting on Google Hangout went better (although I recall we lost Sarah for much of the meeting). If we are going that route perhaps Wilson can provide the expertise - he taught me enough about Hangout to allow me to participate in the aforementioned meeting.
