[Gnso-newgtld-wg] First Call?

Dear WG Members,

Establishing the date for the first meeting was done primarily to provide as
much advance notice as possible to members. The main reason for not using a
Doodle poll for this initial meeting is that the WG membership continues to
grow, so members yet to sign up to the WG could be excluded from
participating in the poll. One of the topics for the first meeting is
anticipated to be a discussion on future scheduling of meetings, which could
include debate around the day of the week and time and whether rotating
meeting times is necessary, though resolution would be done through a Doodle
poll or similar.

That all said, from a staff perspective, we can certainly still establish a
Doodle poll for this initial meeting, but it may introduce uncertainty and
delays in scheduling.

Best,
Steve

Dear All, 
It is good that ideas on on the way forward are being floated. I support
Janvier Ngnoulaye's idea of creating a simple doodle to see how many of us
will be available to participate on the suggested Thursday 25 Feb. first WG
meeting.

Regards
