We would like to set a time for a telephonic interview with you in the next two weeks to discuss your opinions, observations, and experiences with the TLG. To facilitate scheduling, please respond with three dates in the time slots below when you have 30 minutes of availability. We will confirm the appointment within 24 hours. Monday thru Friday: 1100 - 1400 UTC Monday and Thursday: 2000 - 2300 UTC During our interview, we are interested in: (1) understanding the historical operations and impact of the TLG; (2) the role the TLG plays in the relationship between ICANN, ETSI, ITU, W3C, and IAB; and (3) your thoughts on how to improve the TLG in the future. Please consider these questions prior to our appointment, and please feel at ease during our conversation as all discussions are confidential and data are presented without attribution. Furthermore, please be aware that we will be opening an online survey in October and will invite your participation in that forum as well. Finally, we invite comments by email at any time by anyone with opinions or experiences about the TLG. Please email tlg-review@jascommunications.com. Please feel free to share with the GNSO. We recognize this is a very tight timeline and we sincerely appreciate your willingness to accommodate scheduling prior to 24-Sept.
