Yes, I realise that Duane - thanks. However I doubt we need to have a meeting to decide if we have anything to discuss. Or organise a meeting to decide to hold a meeting that’s a charter commitment. Neither of these things seems productive or worthwhile to me. So why bother?

The list has been dormant and we’ve not been asked to do anything. [Long may that continue...] So there’s nothing to discuss.

Can’t we just decide on the list to have that (contractually obliged) public meeting in Montreal* -- assuming enough RZERC members will be there -- and be done with it? That meeting should be a no-op too: saying to an empty room “Nothing’s happened since last year’s meeting. Any questions?”.

* I’m indifferent to when or where RZERC performs its charter obligation. Aligning this with the ICANN AGM seems reasonable.
