Thank you Terri! RIPE92 is in Edinburgh, UTC+1, so it is possible to do the council meeting before the RIPE day starts. Julf On 10/11/2025 16:58, Terri Agnew wrote:
Thank you Julf, I have added RIPE92 is May 18-22 to the list, I see 14 May is Ascension Day (and added below) in some parts of the world. @Council, which would be less impactful, Council meeting on 14 May or 21 May 2026? Reminder, this is the 05:00 UTC rotation time.

Dear GNSO Council,
Please see the suggested dates for 2026 Council meetings. Times and
meeting rotation are suggested in function of the current locations of
the Council Leadership team and members of the council.
We encouraged you to check the dates against your national and/or
religious holidays. We have considered those which could conflict with
Council meeting dates (Thursdays, generally the 2^nd or the 3^rd of
the month except during Tri-Annual ICANN meetings). Please have a look
and check against your own calendars to see if there are any adjustments
to make. If no comments on dates/times listed below, we will send
calendar invites out next week.
Current 2025 Meeting dates and times (which will remain the same):
* 13 November at 13:00 UTC
* 11 December at 21:00 UTC
Suggested 2026 Meeting dates and times:
We have kept the three council meeting times as they still seem to work
for the current council of 05:00, 13:00 and 21:00 UTC. (exception for
the ICANN tri-annual meetings)
