Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] Time of the call

[Ching Chiao <chiao@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Michael, all,

Thanks for the consideration. Not sure if I am the only Asian / Asia-based
joining this WG. Personally as long as ICANN staff can help avoid time
conflict then it would be fine.

On this WG I even think the most productive volunteers are US / Europe based
so probably should consider their working hours as priority in order to
ensure WG's throughput / output.

Best,

Ching Chiao
