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

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

Even if we do have a meeting on the 8th (and I'm not thrilled at moving it 
after some of us plan around them), no votes should be taken.

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.
