By waiting until January for the full team to meet we will lose time in gaining momentum with the team.   ICANN has drastically improved the remote participation tools and since we have at least half of the team already committed to the meeting we could have a fruitful discussion.   If it is expenses alone that is limiting participation we have a  budget for travel  and we should use it.

I have also  included Bill's Scope of Work and some of the issues brought up in the email threads.    Please take a  moment to review it and provide comment as I am sure I have not hit on all the details we need to think about.    This is a starting point and by tracking it in a document I think we can work through the details and bring clarity to many issues quickly.
