Hello everyone,

As mentioned on the call, policy staff are currently checking to see what other meetings have already been scheduled for Friday 19 June that may involve a number of our WG and/or GNSO participants. Assuming there is no major conflict found, we will follow up with a Doodle poll to see which day/date works best for most people.

We thought we should also note that it will likely be very difficult to try to schedule the WG face-to-face meeting for Thursday 18 June (rather than Friday 19 or Friday 26 June), since that will likely add substantially to the travel costs for many people who have not been planning to be in Buenos Aires much before the actual start of the ICANN meeting or who are not otherwise supported travelers for the GNSO weekend sessions. As such, we suggest that the choices for the poll should be limited to one or the other Friday if possible. 

Thanks and cheers
Mary

Subject: Re: [Gnso-ppsai-pdp-wg] Face to face?

Agreed. I also think that being able to follow up on issues during the ICANN week was useful last year.

While I am in favour of a face to face meeting like we had in LA, I would be opposed to holding it after the main ICANN meeting for a variety of reasons.

After a full week of meetings (many of us have activities scheduled over the weekend prior to the official opening) most of us are exhausted by Thursday and probably wouldn't be mentally or physically at our best for a productive meeting on the Friday.

Regards

Michele
