Sorry for the silence, I just got back.<br>
<br>
I am available for all but the 1st Thursday slot.<br>
<br>
In light of the recent ICANN announcement suggesting that this review be halted or otherwise affected, meeting is more important as I think that the three of us need to reply in unison if possible.<br>
<br>
At this point, none of the 6 slots are good for all three of us.<br>
<br>
Where are we on next Monday;s plenary meeting?<br>
