<div>Hi Donna,</div>
</div>
</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I just wanted to confirm that the scheduling of ongoing meetings will be a topic for the group to consider in the initial call and can be discussed later on as the need arises. I am hopeful that the group will be able to come up with creative ways to address
the inclusiveness challenges inherent in having a geographically diverse membership.</div>

<div>Thanks,</div>
