[gnso-rpm-wg] REMINDER re: Clarification re: Timing of Working Group Weekly Calls

[Greg Shatan]

Julie,

For those of us (not from APAC region) who participate in more than one of
the current Working Groups, it would be helpful if the APAC-timed calls for
the various groups were not all in the same week.  Perhaps this could be
coordinated.

Thanks!

Greg Shatan
