[NCUC-EC] Singapore

[William Drake]

Again, I’m very sorry you won’t be able to join us in person.  As to remote, there are two challenges: 1) Singapore is UTC/GMT +8 hours while Florida is UTC/GMT -5 hours, so unless you’re a real masochist you’ll probably only be able to join us for a few hours at the outset; and 2) ICANN isn’t providing staff + technical support for RP, as the deal was they reallocated the funding from room/facilities to cover an EC member’s travel.  So for however long you want to be with us, we can connect you via the NCUC Adobe room and all just speak into our computers.  We can also use Skype as sort of a backup channel.  Hopefully it’ll be ok.

Thanks in advance for your indulgence,

Bill

I have been advised by more than one medical expert that that due to extensive nerve damage (a problem that began with an accident is the US ARMY), I cannot and should not fly for long distances no earlier than May.  It is too risky.  It kills me not to be able to join you in Singapore.   I will of course, keep up remotely for the Singapore meeting, and I will definitely be in London.
