Hi all, Today was the deadline for members to confirm their attendance, and I'm proud to announce that, if all goes well with visa processing, we will have full quorum (i.e. all 19 members will be present). Participants please confirm to me (off-list) by 7 November if you plan to attend the F2F meeting in person. After 7 November, the in-person attendance list will be closed so as to finalize logistics and other arrangements. Please note that ICANN is only sponsoring travel and lodging for the 19 members, and that participants may attend at their own expense. As a reminder, this F2F meeting is a working meeting for the CWG. Like all CWG meetings, attendance is limited to CWG members and participants. Since anyone can join the CWG as a participant, if you know of someone who is interested in the work of the CWG, please encourage them to join. If you have any questions, please contact me.
