No problem and yes, please do send the doodle Glen/Gisella. I suspect that from
Wednesday of next week folks are travelling to their ICANN destinations so
let's get our heads together before that.
Many thanks.

Please note that I do not plan to actively participate on the ET but please
feel free to let me know if I can be of any assistance.
Caroline - Thanks for assuming the lead role for the ET. I suggest that Glen
and/or Gisella send a Doodle poll out for Monday or Tuesday.
