> * As they did for the September meeting, Patrik and Mohamed will decide
> amongst themselves who will run each session or portion thereof (and we

> the ICG members).
> * I will participate remotely for as much of the meetings as possible and will
> be available by phone/Skype/IM for ad hoc discussion as necessary. Daylight
> hours in Singapore are early-to-late evening hours in California, so this

> After 12 weeks I will be back to working full-time. I plan to travel to ICANN 53.
