RE: [council] Regarding attendance at the Council meeting on 14 Sept 2006

Dear Bruce, 

Rescheduling the  Council call will present other problems in terms of
decision making. If we have no votes but discussion on the call, can we
progress, even with less than an official quorum/say if we have 12
Councilors available?

Hello All,

Please advise the GNSO Secretariat in advance if you will not be
attending the teleconference on 
14 Sept 06.

The attendance level at the last meeting was not good (3 Aug 2006).

I would rather re-schedule the meeting than have a meeting with he
minimum quorum.

Ie I would prefer to know that we have at least 14 Council members
attending, out of a possible 21 members attending.  So if there are more
than 7 apologies, the meeting should be re-scheduled.

Bear in mind that many of us attend these meetings very late in the
evening, or very early in the morning - so it is important that when we
do attend, that the meetings are well attended to justify the
inconvenience.

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
