[Gnso-newgtld-wg] Meeting schedule was Re: Proposal to Extend CC2 Deadline

[avri doria]

Dear Kavouss,

I have received heard your requests and seen your complaint to the
chairs of the GNSO and the GAC.

Staff reviewed our meeting time and found that 4 UTC was not possible,
especially for our full meeting as that is a 90 minute meeting that
would interfere with the WS2 meetings that are scheduled in the 5 UTC
time frame. We have been very careful to keep our scheduling out of the
WS2 time tracks as that was one of the original concerns that people had
in establishing our rotating scheduling. The other goal we had was
consistency in the rotating times at which we held meetings as much as
possible.  Finally the point was the sharing of discomfort among the
residents of various time frames which was accepted by the WG at the
beginning of this process.

At this point you are the only one with this specific request.  Should
there be a consensus in the group that we need to review and possibly
redo the rotating schedule of meetings, I will ask the staff to help us
find a new solution that is acceptable to a consensus of the
participants in the WG.  I will ask that the issue be added as AOB to
our full meeting to find out whether there is consensus on the need to
reschedule our meetings.

Thank you

Avri
