Good idea.

I think we need to accurately calculate the necessary time which I believe is a bit difficult with so many critical factors being unclear .. That said is there an urgency for us go live with a new timeline now .. Can't we just:

> -          Thank the names community for the dedication and hard work solving more complex issues, and re-iterate ICG's commitment to closely monitor the process and bring to their attention anything that may help spare us post-submission ICG-CWG iterations ..

I would like to bring this discussion over to the thread about the timeline - will respond there.

> [MI]: If time allows, I suggest adding this as an agenda item to agree whether the meeting will be before or after the ICANN week .. I recall this was discussed in Singapore but not concluded .. If no further discussion is needed maybe a Doodle poll will serve the purpose .. and if time doesn't allow we can definitely discuss online .. The reason I brought this up is that the hotels are already announced and it will be good to know early on the dates of any additional days ..

> As I will not be on the call, I'll share my opinion here .. If I recall correctly, we've met 'after' in Istanbul (and LA?) and 'before' in Singapore .. I think meeting before was useful in aligning views, making sure everyone is on the same page, agreeing on messages that need to be conveyed, etc … .. Having said that, and if ICG members' flights allow, a couple of hours to wrap up, at the end, after the public forum, may also be useful ..

This item has been added to the end of the agenda.

Thanks,
Alissa
