[gnso-rpm-wg] PLEASE CONSIDER A REPLY: Proposed Working Group call next week

[Susan Payne]

Hi George - I think that was my comment so thanks for pointing that out.  I did not recall the cancellation for INTA but with that in mind if a similar large number of people would be missing the call for NamesCon I agree it seems reasonable to cancel.  I do think it does depend on the volume of participants for whom the event is a factor (regardless of which event it happens to be).  In this case we need to take into account that this is the call scheduled to be more convenient for those in AsPac timezones, who maybe won't be going to NamesCon (I have no idea whether they will or not).  The conflict equally doesn't affect me since I can't join a call at 4am, so my absence from the call has nothing to do with NamesCon.

During today's call, some folks felt that the call scheduled for next week should still be held, despite some folks being unable due to their attendance at the large NamesCon event, as "there are always some folks who can't make it." However, I'd like to remind people that back in May 2016 we cancelled a working group call due to INTA having their Orlando meeting:

http://mm.icann.org/pipermail/gnso-rpm-wg/2016-May/000291.html

So, it would only be fair, in my opinion, that next week's call be cancelled. [the conflict doesn't affect me personally, by the way; I can make it next week]

If it's not cancelled, then the next time there's a conflict with an INTA meeting, we should not change our own schedule to accommodate those going to INTA events.

Sincerely,

George Kirikos
