RE: [council] Doodle poll: To determine time for maximum attendance at Council meeting on 8 September 2010

["Tim Ruiz" <tim@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I object to moving the meeting to the 8th. All it seems to do is favor
one group of Councilors over another, those who find IGF to be in
conflict over those who do not. Have we determined that any fewer would
be available if we don't move it? 

And I think it's pretty clear that the VI WG will not be submitting any
consensus based recommendations, in fact it will only be an initial
report not final. So there really is nothing urgent for the Council to
take action on. The initial report of the VI WG will likely be out for
public comment so the Board is perfectly capable of reviewing it and
taking any of it into consideration. In addition, given our tradition of
putting an action off for one meeting if requested it is unlikely that
any action would be taken anyway.

Dear Councillors,

On behalf of Chuck Gomes: "we are planning to change the 16 September
meeting to 8 September because of the IGF meetings the week of our
regularly scheduled meeting and because of the need to finalize action
on the VI PDP WG report in order to provide the Board information on VI
11 days before their retreat. The first Doodle poll results indicated
that a quorum could be achieved (6 of 7 in the contracted party house
and 8 of 13 in the non-contracted party house for a meeting at the
regularly planned time of 11:00 UTC. The purpose of this poll is to see
if there would be stronger attendance at the other time we use for
Council meetings, that is 15:00 UTC. If the new poll does not improve
the availability of Councilors, we will go ahead and hold the meeting at
11:00 UTC."

Please complete the attached Doodle poll to this purpose no later than
Monday, 26 July 2010.
