Dear GNSO Review Working Group members, The feedback received suggested that Option 2 – 1300 UTC – is the preferred option. Thus, staff will send a meeting notice for the upcoming meeting on Thursday, 30 November for 1300 UTC, and for the subsequent bi-weekly meetings. Note that there will be no meeting the week between the Christmas and New Year’s holidays, as is customary. Thus, the meeting in December will be on Thursday, 14 December at 1300 UTC, but there will be no meeting on 28 December. Meetings will resume the first week in January, beginning on Thursday, 04 January at 1300 UTC. Kind regards, Julie From: Gnso-review-wg <gnso-review-wg-bounces@icann.org> on behalf of Julie Hedlund <julie.hedlund@icann.org> Date: Wednesday, November 22, 2017 at 4:31 PM To: "gnso-review-wg@icann.org" <gnso-review-wg@icann.org> Subject: [Gnso-review-wg] REMINDER: Feedback on Timing of GNSO Review Working Group Calls Dear GNSO Review Working Group members, This is a reminder. It was noted during the meeting on 15 November that attendance has often been low at WG meetings and not all SGs and Cs have been represented. The WG noted that this could be a consequence of the timing of the meetings being inconvenient. Thus, per this action item from the meeting, “Send email to the WG list about the timing of the meeting and inviting feedback about changing the schedule” staff notes that due to the switch from daylight savings time to standard time, the call on 16 November stayed at 1200 UTC, but this caused the call to fall an hour earlier for some time zones, such as at 0700 EST. We have the option to keep the calls at 1200 UTC, move them to 1300 UTC, or to hold a Doodle poll to find a new day and time for a call. Please provide feedback on these options below at your earliest convenience, but no later than Monday, 27 November to confirm the timing of the call on Thursday, 30 November. You may indicate your preference by placing an “x” mark in front of the preferred option: _____ Option 1: 1200 UTC on Thursdays bi-weekly _____ Option 2: 1300 UTC on Thursdays bi-weekly _____ Option 3: Hold a Doodle Poll If we don’t receive enough responses to make a conclusive determination on the timing we’ll use the time of 1200 UTC for the call on 30 November but follow up with a Doodle poll for subsequent meetings. Thank you very much for your assistance. Best regards, Julie Julie Hedlund, Policy Director
