In addition to discussing dates to meet, we should also discuss the nature of the work we envision in Beijing. While interaction with ICANN and the ICANN community will be an important element of the work, the Review Team may or may not be in a position to interact effectively with the Community and ICANN at the Beijing meeting. Interaction requires structure and preparation. I would imagine that in our face-to-face meeting in Los Angeles that the Team will identify work streams, working groups and other activities. It may be worthwhile to discuss how we envision advancing the work in Beijing and that could help inform when, and for how long, we should meet in Beijing.<div>
