Dear All,

Thank you very much Wolf-Ulrich for spotting this, it is indeed Thursday 17 December 2016. My apologies for the mistake and this will be corrected when the dates are approved by the Council.

With regard to the rotation of meeting times, please see the google spreadsheet doc which is based on the time zones of the new Council
http://tinyurl.com/qc96dnx

A suggested new rotation could be 14, 17, 22 UTC.

Your comments and input would be most welcome to modify the rotation times.

Thank you
Kind regards,

Glen

In light of the GNSO review recommendations I endorse Heather’s suggestion.

My calendar indicates 16 December as a Friday???

Best regards

Dear Glen, colleagues,

May I suggest that we consider modifying the times (not the dates) within our rotation, as 11, 15 and 18 UTC range from 10pm - 5am in Asia Pacific. A more equitable rotation whereby each time zone cluster (North/South America, Europe/Middle East, Asia Pacific) has at least one meeting during working hours would be beneficial and would take on board the feedback received in the recent GNSO Review as to facilitating participation from regions outside of Europe and North America.

Many thanks and best wishes,

Heather
