Dear Paul, I had asked who is „we“. Since you did not answer, let me ask again, who made this decision? You alone, or if, not who else participated? This is a weekend with two public holidays in many countries, in the UK they are called even bank holidays. That means, that many members will not go to the office this „long“ weekend. For the avoidance of doubt, being retired from the day job, I do all of this from the laptop wherever I am unless driving or flying (and will try Zoom on CarPlay on 2026-03-23). el -- Sent from my iPhone On Mar 20, 2026 at 14:50 -0400, Paul McGrady <paul@elstermcgrady.com>, wrote:
Thanks all.
We are a large, geographically and socially diverse group. There will be a holiday somewhere nearly every Monday. We are not going to be able to accommodate them all and it will be impossible to justify if we prioritize the Christian & European holidays over all the others. Please arrange for your alternate to attend when you can’t. We are in the process so there will be no consensus calls on the Monday following Easter, so you can listen to the recording and participate with the interstitial work.
Best, Paul

You don't often get email from christabel.mebaghandu@ccpjd.org. Learn why this is important I agree. Moving this to a working day will greatly improve participation, even for alternates.

Hello, all,
I would also like to reinforce the request for this call to be moved. It's a holiday/long weekend and some of our members' participation might be affected by that too.
best,

quote_type Thanks Eberhard. We intend to keep call to keep our timeline on track. Please arrange for your alternate to attend in your stead if you cannot make it.

Subject says all, for some of us this is a really long weekend off, so perhaps we should not have that call?
