Thanks for the feedback Susan,

 

I'm afraid we would need to see some output from everyone to warrant the
next meeting. I can't justify scheduling another meeting until we have
something to review.

 

Berry could you please remind everyone about what's outstanding in the
action items?

 

Everyone, if you could respond to Berry with firm delivery dates for your
commitments we can plan on another meeting based on when we can have some
work to go over. 

 

Susan if we can get output, I'm happy to keep on with the schedule - let's
see what the group is able to offer for hard deliverables.

 

-Michael

I can understand the reason behind your suggestion, Michael. We need active
involvement from all members.  

But, I agree with others comments. April 12 will not change my workload.  I
would prefer we stay with current schedule.

>> Hi All,

>> As you may have noticed from lack of traffic on our mailing list, we are
struggling with getting our volunteer's time and attention these days.  I am
quite proud we made as much forward progress as we did in January and early
February but we seem to be in ever-increasing conflict with the many effects
of the new TLD application period.  As you know I've talked with a number of
you and we've collectively talked on the call about the immense work load
many are under at the moment. We lost one of our co-chairs to this issue
directly.

applications are in there will be a period where people are more available
again.  The approval and processing period of the applications provides us
with some respite - although we will all have our regular "day" jobs still.
As I result I suggest we suspend our efforts until April 16th when we would
reinitiate our meetings.  At this point I think we can accelerate again and
make up for the lost time. Our recent new approach is more efficient and
will just a little time from our volunteers, I believe we can catch up to
our original intended schedule (in terms of results).

adjustment to the council on our behalf.
