Chuck,

I will send out the meeting reminder and indeed the meeting can be cancelled 3 
hours before the time.

Subject: [gnso-wpm-dt] WPM: Draft Council Resolution and Timeline--REVISED
WPM Team Members:

The DRAFT Resolution, below, now incorporates the suggestions made by Chuck and 
a few additional tweaks of my own after a few additional rereads.   The 
timeline is the same as my first version.
[Gomes, Chuck] It looks fine to me.

Concerning format, how should we connect the Timeline to the Resolution?    Can 
it be tacked to the bottom of the resolution as I am showing with an embedded 
reference "(see below)"?
[Gomes, Chuck] What you did seems okay to me.  Another way to do it is to 
provide a link in the motion but I think the timeline is brief enough that that 
is not necessary.

Any thoughts about having our teleconference on Monday, as scheduled, to 
finalize the resolution and timeline?
[Gomes, Chuck] Does anyone think we need a meeting to discuss the motion or 
anything else?  If so, we should have it.  If we are able to agree on the 
motion on the list and there are no other specific reasons to have a meeting, 
then I suggest we cancel it.  Maybe we should wait until 3 hours before the 
scheduled meeting time on Monday and make a decision then; if no one has 
identified a need for the meeting, then cancel it at that time.  That should 
also allow enough time for meeting details to be sent out at that time (correct 
me if I am wrong on that Glen).

Thanks,

Ken
