[CCWG-ACCT] Follow Up from our Conference Call RE: LA F2F

[Chris Disspain]

Thanks Paul.

Just in case it isn’t clear, as I said in my note to Eberhard, there is a Board workshop on 26, 27 and 28 in LA so whilst the CCWG can call a meeting on any dates it wants, if Board member attendance is important to the CCWG then clashing with the retreat dates may not be optimal. Also, finding a venue that is available at this short notice may well be challenging if not impossible. That was why the Board politely suggested some dates to the CCWG. They did not clash with the Board retreat, meant that many Board members would be able to attend and had a venue available.

By the way, I do appreciate that the dates we suggested may well not be suitable to the CCWG (especially with Yom Kippur).


Cheers,

Chris

I think that, at a minimum, the Co-Chairs need to confirm a meeting in LA (currently thought to be the 25th and 26th) no more than 2 weeks prior – i.e. no later than this Friday.  I also think that, at a minimum, the substance of the Board’s comments that will be the subject of discussion should be circulated no later than 1 week prior – i.e. September 18 – so that those who cannot attend in person have an adequate opportunity to express their views in response.  It follows as well that I would request a meeting agenda no later than, say, the 22nd of September before everyone gets on the plane …
