Re: [soac-newgtldapsup-wg] 9 Nov meeting

[Eric Brunner-Williams <ebw@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Karla,

There are two functions to consider.

There is the continued work of the group, through its participants who 
are present and available for a face-to-face meeting during the ICANN 
public meeting.
And there is the presentation of the work-to-date to non-participants, 
the media included, who are present and available for a presentation 
during the ICANN public meeting.
Knowing how extremely difficult it is to get rooms in the venue, and 
not knowing how many participants will be at Cartagena, I hope others 
will indicate if they plan to attend this particular meeting, and if 
so, if they want to commit to a day or an alternate form of finding 
time and place to conduct a meeting.
Knowing how extremely important it is for ICANN to conduct externally 
facing proof-of-service events, I'm sure that an adequate room can be 
found for presentation of the Milestone, and that Kurt will find a way 
to include the highlights of the Milestone in what we affectionately 
refer to as the "Kurt Show".
