Hi, Chuck and I have been trying to set out the high level agenda through the LA meeting. I have enclosed a draft of that. At best this is a rough indicator as events might conspire to make it otherwise. But as part of the effort to make our work more predicatable, I figured we should try. You will notice that I have included a second interim teleconference on Sept 23rd and 2 days of face-to-face meetings in the schedule. Given the amount of important work before the council, and because I want to make sure we have enough time to give topics their due, I think we need these meetings. Of course we still need to decide as a council whether they will actually happen. As always, comments and corrections are most welcome. thanks a. ---- 30 Aug - Report from Whois group and discussion on issues and how to proceed.
