<P>Dear Glen, colleagues,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>May I suggest that we consider modifying the times (not the dates) within our
rotation, as 11, 15 and 18 UTC range from 10pm - 5am in Asia Pacific. A more
equitable rotation whereby each time zone cluster (North/South America,
Europe/Middle East, Asia Pacific) has at least one meeting during working hours
would be beneficial and would take on board the feedback received in the recent
GNSO Review as to facilitating participation from regions outside of Europe and
North America.</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Many thanks and best wishes,</P>
<P> </P>
<P>Heather</P><BR><BR>
