[Rt4-whois] London Meeting -- staff attendance andconference call with Strickling and Beckstrom

[Smith, Bill]

Kathy,

I suggest that we can test for agreement via email, phone, or in-person. If a proposal won't be available until London, there's no need to consider sending earlier.

My point is that getting *something* out sooner, rather than later is desirable so that we may begin to consider this as a group.

Re a conference call proposal, I believe one was made some time ago to schedule calls on a set day/time at least every fortnight (with the option to hold additional calls on the "off" weeks). We had found a day/time that seemed to work for all or most people and I hope we can continue with that "plan".

Regards,

Bill

Bill,
We can certainly try, but the purpose of sharing a draft at the London meeting was to see whether people agreed with the ideas we share for F2F and conference call meetings.  We can circulate something, but I don’t think we will finalize until then.

Best,
Kathy

Emily,

I see in the draft agenda that you and Kathy plan to present a proposal for meetings. Would it be possible to send that out in advance of the meeting, perhaps this week? My calendar is filling up and I continue to make other commitments as requests  come in.

At present, I have nothing blocked out for the WHOIS Review except ICANN meeting weeks. If we plan on meeting at other times, it would be good to know that as soon as possible.

Thanks,

Bill

Dear Denise, Dear All

Denise, I am delighted to here that you and other members of the ICANN team will be in attendance at the London meeting, and appreciate your continued support of the Team's work.

All, I attach an updated draft of the London agenda for your information.  It is more or less the same as that circulated before Christmas, but makes a number of changes in response to comments:

- Later finish time on second day
- Inclusion of "producers" under item 3 (Developing the Definitions)
- Discussion with Larry Strickling is inserted as new item 4 (afternoon of first day).  This item is referred to in Denise's mail, and is carried over from the Cartagena meeting.  Denise, if Rod is available to join this discussion, he would be most welcome.  If not, we can schedule for another occasion.

Your other question, Denise, is I hope answered by the agenda on day 2 (item 6(a)).  If anything is unclear, Kathy or I will be happy to give you a briefing.

I look forward to receiving any final comments by the end of Friday.  In the absence of any comments, we will take this agenda as agreed prior to the meeting.

Kind regards

Emily
