The Doodle poll, only completed by eight, does not yield a time that can be accommodative to all. The two best times, are 19 UTC on the 23<sup>rd</sup> or 24<sup>th</sup>. Both can be made by our Chair, but exclude several of our more active participants. Because Stephane is currently on Mission, it is difficult to know if these two times are acceptable and we likely will not know until Monday.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Given the GDPR activity and the GNSO Council meeting next week, it has made our usually scheduled time of 14 UTC on Thursday impossible. The WG could consider postponing the call until the week of the 28<sup>th</sup>. However, that is complicated by Stephane not being available that week as well. Thus, we would not be able to meet until the week of June 4<sup>th</sup> which will greatly impact the draft timeline I sent earlier this week.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://doodle.com/poll/drb3m7y3na6uuva2">https://doodle.com/poll/drb3m7y3na6uuva2</a> <o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I will await to hear from Stephane on Monday to further advise the WG on when we can meet. In the meantime, can you tentatively block the 19UTC times on your calendars. I’ll send notice to the list ASAP.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Also, I encourage members to review through variant index and the latest version of the National Society identifiers proposed for reservation.
