However, looking at the volume of comments that have come in, and the fact that none of the comments seem to warrant a wholesale change in the model we have envisioned, it seems to me that we should be able to complete our work in 2 focused and energetic days.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">As a result, I’d like to propose that we meet face to face on April 15 and 16. PLEASE SPEAK UP if you believe we need to add the third day back.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Second, we had a discussion about meeting in London vs. in Washington DC. Looking at the costs of travel, etc., we are going to be constrained to meet in Washington DC, at the ICANN offices. Diana will send out information on being able to work with FCM to make travel arrangements.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Given that this will be our last meeting, I hope all of you will make the trip, and that we wrap this work in a proper way.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Separately, I’ll ask Diana to send out a poll on Item 13 of the Charter, so we can get to consensus on that issue.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">Finally, we agreed to do work on the document in the aftermath of the ICANN meeting. It would be good if you could schedule some time and prioritize the work. We have 3 calls prior to our F2F and it would be valuable to move the document closer to final by that time.</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal">-Ram</p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p class="MsoNormal"> </p></div></body></html>
