We are awaiting confirmation from ICANN staff that there is a room available in which we can meet on September 6 in Istanbul. That information should be forthcoming today I hope. As for October 17: We have several ICG participants who were not able to be present in London and who have not yet completed the doodle poll (I believe they are on holiday), so we don’t know if they can be present on September 6. In addition to choosing a date that maximizes the number of people who can meet in person in October, I think it’s also important that we not arrange things such that multiple participants miss all of the first three meetings. In a group like this, developing rapport in person is critical, I think. So if we can wait one more week to schedule the October meeting, that might provide time for us to gather information about that. (And if people disagree with this reasoning, please speak up.) Does that cause insurmountable problems for those on tight timeframes for travel scheduling, or can we live with the October decision getting made next week?

For those of us who have long longhaul trips, and are covering some of the costs from our own pockets, it is critical to get these dates confirmed as early as possible. An example of why - I have already booked my flights for Istanbul and Los Angeles, and the cost of changing flights to accommodate ICG will be in excess of US$1,000 for me...
Cheers

Thanks Patrik
I guess the poll will be subject to change so we shouldn’t be relying on a spreadsheet copy. Do some folk have problems accessing the Doodle site here?

Now, are we ready to settle at least on September 6 and October 17? These are clearly the most popular options and as requested, good to get them confirmed asap.
Paul.
