Hello all,

Denise & Eric here (for the new members, we’re the co-chairs from before the “great pause”). Following-up on a suggestion made by Mr. Matogoro, we propose that we have a phone call (or two) to welcome new team members and discuss various details involved in getting the team underway again. Is there anyone who is unable to join a call on June 11th, at 16:00 UTC? If this isn’t a good time we can do a quick doodle poll and settle on another slot. Mr. Matogoro also had several other suggestions to consider to get the review underway – please see his April 25 email if you missed it. Thank you Mr. Matogoro!

We’d also like to follow-up on Scott’s suggestion and see how many of us will be at the ICANN meeting in Panama later this month. We’ll both be there. Who else?

We’d be happy to arrange for a meeting room at a hotel near the conference center if there’s a critical mass that would like a meeting (perhaps the day before, June 24th). If not, it would still be nice to get together for drinks or a meal with those members who are there.

In terms of scheduling an in-person meeting further out, given the changes in membership and changes in member’s commitments and schedules, it would be useful to get a new membership list with emails and locations. Would someone from Staff please assist in pulling this together and distributing it off-list? This would enable us to consider whether there might be a more viable option for a face-to-face meeting location. There might not be, but it’s worth considering. For example, since Kerry-Ann can’t travel, is DC a potential meeting spot?

We look forward to working with you all and moving forward with this important review.

Best Regards,

Eric & Denise
