[Kiran Malancharuvil <Kiran.Malancharuvil@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I am not able to join today's call, as I am traveling to the IACC fall 
conference.

I prefer option 3 below, and agree that shortening the meeting is not a good 
idea.

Thank you,

Kiran

Hi All,

As indicated earlier, the PI WG F2F meeting in BA is currently scheduled for 
Wednesday 20 November from 7.30 – 9.00. However, looking at the latest internal 
version of the schedule, it looks like that contrary to previous meetings, some 
of the other sessions are already starting at 8.30 such as an ICANN Finance 
Open Session, EWG and EBERO.
[Chuck Gomes] I will likely have conflicts with the ICANN Finance Open Session 
and the EWG sessions.

As these sessions are likely to be a conflict for some of the WG membership, 
you may want to explore a couple of options to reduce the conflict:

  *   Move the session to 7.00 – 8.30[Chuck Gomes]  I am okay with this but it 
will likely limit participation even more than a 7:30 start time.
  *   Shorten the meeting from 7.30 – 8.30[Chuck Gomes]  I do not think this is 
enough time if we want to allow lots of time for audience input.  It would be 
unfortunate in  my opinion to  limit the advantages of an in-person to only 60 
minutes.
  *   Move the session to 16.30 – 18.00 (only obvious conflicts for the moment 
would be IDN Variants, ATRT2 Wrap-up and the Technology Innovation Panel)[Chuck 
Gomes]  I would like to participate in the ATRT2 Wrap-Up session but could 
listen to the MP3 and read the transcripts if necessary.
  *   Keep the session as is[Chuck Gomes]  I strongly prefer the first or third 
options above but will defer to the WG needs.
Do note that this is still a draft version of the schedule and further changes 
may occur (but I'll do my best to keep an eye on those).

I look forward to receiving your feedback.

Best regards,

Marika
