<div>Fridays was the gist of my question to Council yesterday, i.e. is
this an onlist discussion or one we want to allocate some actual
teleconference time to? Happy to do either. So far, there's only been one
request to put this on the call agenda (Jeff).</div>
<div><br></div>
<div>On Icann academy, same situation really. I am happy to add an agenda
item if others feel there is something to discuss.</div>
