Re: [gtld-council] Lets go with 25 May to 27 May

[Mawaki Chango <ki_chango@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hello Bruce,

Well, if you ask my opinion (which you haven't; nevertheless), it would be
preferrable for me to have this meeting on the continental Europe (Schengen 
space).
For UK and given the passport I hold, I will have to apply for visa I beleive 
and
not having a consulate where I live, I'm not sure how much time I'm prepared to
spend on that kind of administrative procedures in this period. One more thing, 
I
beleive Paris also is a hub that the staff may consider, too... just as a 
working
hypothesis, so to speak. Of course, if your talk with Paul Twomey doesn't 
produce
any substantial result, you can ignore my opinion altogether because I'm likely 
to
be unable to attend.

Regards,

Mawaki
