hi Xavier,
the trick is that we responded to the Doodle poll before the Name Collisions call was scheduled. sorry — but Finance takes a back seat to an operational issue like that. most of us probably are in the same situation. it would be very helpful for one of these meetings to be rescheduled.

Jonathan, Our priority is to maximize participation to these calls. As a result, coordinating internally to avoid conflict with scheduled ICANN calls would run the risk that we do not take into account adequately other events that affect the ability of interested parties to participate. As a result, in order to allow for any constraint affecting the interested parties to be taken into account, we have used a doodle poll approach to try to capture any potential conflict, whether internally or otherwise, and gain the most attendance. The day/time we picked for this call was the time where most people who responded to the doodle pool indicated they were available. Out of the 9 options we provided, 11 of the 14 people who responded to the doodle indicated that they could attend the time chosen. I suppose that the people interested in attending the FY15 Budget update, who responded to the doodle poll, are not as much attending the name collision webinar. I hope it helps clarifying the rationale for the day/timing chosen. Thank you. Xavier

Please be aware that a Name Collision update webinar has been scheduled which clashes with this.
It would be good if you could co-ordinate internally and run this webinar before or after the Name Collision Webinar.
