And to new friends and old colleagues (from IRTP A - C), I would gladly
offer to serve as chair again for this PDP WG. But will also
happily step aside if there other interested candidates.<br><br>
Thanks--<br><br>

<dd>Dear all,<br><br>
<dd>Thank you again for joining the IRTP Part D Working Group and for
participating in the doodle. The poll was a real nail-biter. We have
decided to schedule the weekly calls for Mondays 16.00 UCT </b>as this
was the first of the preferred times. </b>I hope that even those who
indicated that this time does not suit them will be able to join the
calls as frequently as their other commitments may permit. Of course we
can always review the meeting time if/when necessary.<br><br>
<dd>Please note that there will be three weeks in which, due to day-light
saving,</b> the time difference between the North America and Europe will
be out of synch as North America 'springs forward' on 10 March and Europe
on 31 March. Judging by the doodle, it might be easiest if we maintain
16.00 UTC for the meetings of 11, 18, 25 March. The North American
meeting times will thus change in those three weeks to 9am PST and 12
noon EST – as of 1 April we will adjust to 15.00 UCT meaning that all
goes back to as it was (8am PST and 11am EST). I realize this might be
rather confusing and I will maker sure to send out reminder emails with
the various local times for those three weeks. <br><br>
<br>
<dd>As no GNSO Council liaison has been appointed yet for this group to
take the lead for this first meeting, I've taken the liberty to put
together a proposed agenda for the first meeting, based on the
requirements outlined in the GNSO Working Group Guidelines:
<br><br>
<dd>Proposed Agenda – IRTP Part D WWorking Group Meeting </b>
<dd>Roll Call / Statements of Interest
<dd>Introductions – members of the WG are invited tto share information
regarding interests, backgrounds, skills, experience especially as
related to any requirements in the Charter
<dd>Principles of transparency and openness
<dd>Election of WG Leaders – Normallly a Chair will be selected at the
first meeting of the WG. A Working Group may elect to have co-chars,
vice-chairs. Once selected, the Working Group Chair will need to be
confirmed by the GNSO Council.
<dd>Items for review: WG Charter, Working Group Guidelines, IRTP Part D
Issue Report, GNSO Policy Development Process
<dd>Development of work plan: it is required that WGs develop a work plan
that outlines the necessary steps and expected timing in order to achieve
the milestones set out in the WG Charter
<dd>Confirmation of next meeting / next steps
<dd>As the election of a WG Chair is expected to take place during the
first meeting, volunteers are encouraged to express their interest</b>
ahead of the meeting.<br><br>
