Yes, in my view, we need to have a call as soon as we can. Also, Jimson and I have been discussing the local African business contacts that he has locally. I suggest that also as Christopher Mondini may be planning engagement locally, that we invite him to the working call. ________________________________ From: bc-outreach-bounces@icann.org <bc-outreach-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Chantelle Doerksen <chantelle.doerksen@icann.org> Sent: Wednesday, March 29, 2017 1:13 PM To: bc-outreach@icann.org Subject: [Bc-outreach] ICANN59 Planning Call - Is this needed? Dear Andrew, and BC Outreach Committee: I hope everyone is caught up from ICANN58, although ICANN59 is now less than 90 days away. With that in mind, does the BC Outreach Committee wish to hold an ICANN59 planning call within the next few weeks? I realize 10-11 April is Passover, and Good Friday/Easter fall on the weekend of the 14-17th of April, which can limit availability. If a call is desired, perhaps we could schedule from 18-20 April (T-TH) ; OR 25 – 27 April (T-TH). This gives us 3 to 4 weeks to prepare before a call. Let me know how you would like to proceed. Thank you, Chantelle
