[council] nz meeting early work days

[Ken Stubbs <kstubbs@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

avri...

if your planning on going to ietf and you were considering attending the 
working group meetings, you would have to leave  Dallas at the latest on 
Thursday mar 23  in order to even arrive in Auckland on the 1st day of 
any proposed  weekend meeting . you would have traveled at least 23 
hours and arrived the morning of the 1st meeting day  (if it was a sat & 
Sunday meeting)..
given that the overwhelming majority of the members of this TF will  be 
flying at least 15 hours to go to new Zealand, i believe that in order 
to be both physically & mentally "effective" for the _*entire*_ icann 
meeting, it is essential that some "down time" be provided for..
this is why i proposed a weekend break  prior to the actual meeting start..

regards,

Ken
