RE: [council] Time for Council meetings on 17 January and 31 January 2008

["Rosette, Kristina" <krosette@xxxxxxx>]

As between the two, I prefer 15:00 UTC.  Alternating between the two times 
would work as long as I had 2-weeks' notice.

Dear Councillors,

The Council representative's time zone spread is such that there is always an 
unfriendly hour for some. If one considered that meetings should not start 
later than midnight and earlier than 5:00 am and 22:00 UTC were a time that 
would accommodate the extremes, could we be sure that the affected council 
members would participate?

This is important in view of the next two Council meetings on 17 and 31 January 
where a quorum is required for, among other possible votes, confirming the GNSO 
Council chair elections (17 January) and voting for the GNSO Vice chair (31 
January).

22:00 UTC
22:00 UTC would give the corresponding times:
14:00 PST - California - Chuck Gomes, Mike Rodenbaugh, Robin Gross + Staff - 
Denise, Liz, Kurt,

16:00 Cedar Rapids - Tim Ruiz

17:00 EST - Tony Harris, Carlos Souza, Greg Ruth, Kristina Rosette, Suzanne 
Sene, Alan Greenberg, Rita Rodin

20:00 Buenos Aires - Olga Cavalli

22:00 London - Ute Decker, Tony Holmes

23:00 Brussels - Philip Sheppard, Jordi Iparraguirre, Tom Keller, Jon Bing, 
Avri Doria + Staff - Olof & Glen

00:00 Amman - Bilal Beiram

05:00 (next day) Phnom Penh - Norbert Klein

06:00 (next day) Hong Kong /Singapore - Edmon Chung, Cyril Chua

09:00 (next day ) Melbourne - Adrian Kinderis, Bruce Tonkin

The other option might be:
15:00 UTC
15:00 UTC would give the corresponding times:

07:00 PST - California - Chuck Gomes, Mike Rodenbaugh, Robin Gross + Denise, 
Liz, Kurt

09:00 Cedar Rapids - Tim Ruiz

10:00 EST - Washington DC, - Avri,  Tony Harris, Carlos Souza, Greg Ruth, 
Kristina Rosette, Suzanne Sene, Alan Greenberg, Rita Rodin

13:00 Buenos Aires - Olga Cavalli

15:00 London - Ute Decker, Tony Holmes

16:00 Brussels - Philip Sheppard, Jordi Iparraguirre, Tom Keller, Jon Bing,  + 
Olof & Glen

17:00 Amman - Bilal Beiram

22:00 Phnom Penh - Norbert Klein

23:00 Hong Kong /Singapore - Edmon Chung, Cyril Chua

02:00 (next day ) Melbourne - Adrian Kinderis, Bruce Tonkin.

Could you please comment so that the time for the next two meetings can be 
scheduled.

Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
Glen
