I would prefer working primarily online, but calls would be welcome when we all feel we need it. And yes, let's arrange a F2F meeting in Singapore.<br>

Assunto: [Party1] Intros - Community Empowerment - two questions<br>
<div class="HOEnZb"><div class="h5"><br>
Hi all<br>
<br>
Welcome to Work Party 1, focusing on community empowerment. My name is Jordan Carter and I was selected by the CCWG to be the rapporteur for this group, and will do my very best to help stimulate and record a useful set of contributions working with you all.<br>
<br>
There are a couple of practical questions and suggestions to kick off a convo with:<br>
<br>
- working methods - do you prefer online only or do you think we need calls?<br>
<br>
- should we try and organise an informal face to face gathering in Singapore for those attending?<br>
<br>
I am working on a document with Steve DelBianco that starts to set out the work we need to do.<br>
<br>
For the record, I am based in NZ on UTC+13, and so my times in replying to mail might be a bit strange. I've been attending ICANN regularly since the end of 2013, and so am relatively fresh to the whole world of ICANN still.<br>
<br>
Looking forward to hearing from you soon, esp on the two questions above.<br>
<br>
best<br>
Jordan<br>
