Avri, Can I suggest a topic for discussion by the GNSO in Sydney? I think we need to look at how we schedule our meetings. As I previously brought up and as was briefly commented on (largely by Chuck and Avri) I think that Doodles are not appropriate. They make it a popularity contest whereby the most unpopular vote always loses. Given that time zones don't change it really doesn't help those that are in the minority and outside of the "popular" time zone. I understand it is incredibly hard to schedule meetings when participants are scattered all over the world but I would favour a rotation process that shared it around irrespective of numbers. Happy to have this discussion on Saturday or Sunday if deemed appropriate. Note I'll be as sharp as a tack (no jet lag for me!). Thanks. Adrian Kinderis (GMT/ UTC +10)
So long as it makes the agenda at some stage I'm happy. The Thursday session isn't usually well attended and most times a little silly - I'll be sure to use that to my advantage!

I think we will actually have a more substantive meeting this time. I went to add meeting timing to the agenda, and saw it was already there. As for that meeting being a little silly, surprises me that it is you that brings that up. Though I admit, the last one was enjoyable. a.

Sorry Avri- maybe I was misunderstood! Silly in this circumstance equals jocular, fun and a little laid back (a good thing!) Silly in this circumstance does not equal irrelevant, not useful nor not warranted. Sorry if I confused. I hope this clears this up. I like the Thursday meetings and it is an excellent session to debrief from the previous weeks happenings! Thanks.

Sorry, still catching up on reading my emails. My previous questions has obviously been answered. Stéphane Le 03/06/09 13:34, « Adrian Kinderis » <adrian@ausregistry.com.au> a écrit :

Adrian, Are you suggesting that this be a topic for our Sunday dinner with the Board (which was the topic of this discussion)? If so, although I agree that the topic needs discussion, I don¹t think it¹s necessarily our top priority for the Board dinner.
