Are you suggesting that this be a topic for our Sunday dinner with the Board (which was the topic of this discussion)? If so, although I agree that the topic needs discussion, I don’t think it’s necessarily our top priority for the Board dinner.<BR>

Can I suggest a topic for discussion by the GNSO in Sydney?<BR>
<BR>
I think we need to look at how we schedule our meetings. As I previously brought up and as was briefly commented on (largely by Chuck and Avri) I think that Doodles are not appropriate. They make it a popularity contest whereby the most unpopular vote always loses. Given that time zones don’t change it really doesn’t help those that are in the minority and outside of the “popular” time zone.<BR>
<BR>
I understand it is incredibly hard to schedule meetings when participants are scattered all over the world but I would favour a rotation process that shared it around irrespective of numbers.<BR>
<BR>
Happy to have this discussion on Saturday or Sunday if deemed appropriate. Note I’ll be as sharp as a tack (no jet lag for me!).<BR>
<BR>
Thanks.<BR>
