Important DOODLE - CWG PC - Special briefing for EURALO Members
by ICANN At-Large Staff May 11, 2015

May 11, 2015

On behalf of Wolf Ludwig Dear all, As you know, IANA Transition is at the centre of ICANN-related discussions since some time. And part of our members are closely involved in it: * ICG - Jean-Jacques Subrenat, * CWG - Olivier Crépin-Leblond, * CCWG A - Sébastien Bachollet. Some preliminary results from these groups are open for consultation now for a rather limited period. Therefore our representatives suggested to organize a single issue call for a briefing of EURALO members besides our regular monthly call. To find out about the level of interest and suitable time options, Staff was asked to conduct a Doodle for this extra call. Please complete the attached Doodle poll to gage the level of interest and find the most suitable time over the next couple of weeks. http://doodle.com/vft2trtx9eh3wx8c Thank you. Best regards, Wolf Ludwig Chair of EURALO
