Re: [council] Time table for ICANN Board election this year

["Milton Mueller" <mueller@syr.edu>]

I agree. Let's move it up even further to last of 
August.

I would not recommend to vote in September 4th-6th, because several
of us will be on the way to Montevideo, or already sitting on meetings
in Montevideo (some starts on 5th morning). To be safe I would avoid
any date in September prior to Montevideo.

Would it be better ?
