<div dir="ltr"><div class="gmail_extra">Hi Pam,</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">to clarify about the calls timeslots. All CCWG subgroups can reserve among 3 available timeslots from Monday to Friday: 5:00UTC, 13:00UTC, 19:00UTC in order to ensure the rotation. 1 timeslot can be selected by 1 subgroup only. Those are the parameters within we operate.</div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div><div class="gmail_extra">I also live in Asia and my timezone is UTC+9. Personally, 13:00UTC is more convenient for me since that doesn't clash with my work which has nothing to do with ICANN-related matters. I can sometimes attend a 19:00UTC call if it is on Friday but definitely not on other weekdays. I am really aware of the issues with regard to selected times for many ICANN working groups and raised that point in many times in GNSO. That is why we always ask people to comment on the mailing list and react, to not keep the discussion in confcalls only. </div><div class="gmail_extra"><br>

<br>
Thank you for your explanation.<br>
<br>
As someone who is based in Sydney Australia, I say with personal experience that over the last four years, most meetings I would like to or need to participate were held at awkward hours (ranging from midnight to 4am, local time). Those meeting times were often results of a poll among participants but for historic reasons, certain regions were (and still are) under-represented and polling tends to perpetuate the status quo.<br>
<br>
That's why I considered rotation of meeting times essential for diversity but I respect the drafting team's decision.<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
<br>

Dear Pam<br>
<br>
During discussions in previous calls, participants asked for a more streamlined questionnaire (short), so some questions were selected for deletion, including this one about rotating meeting times. The majority of the volunteers in the drafting team agreed.<br>
