There seems to be a e-mail delivery problem with her ISP and/or account which 
is unfortunate.  One of the limitations of e-mail lists I suppose (still lot 
eaiser than trying to have everyone fly to Geneva :-)

I believe that this should be the sole focus of our energy for the next few 
days so that we can comply with the Names Council request.  After we have done 
that then there is lot more work that can be done trying to gain consesus on 
the many good ideas which have been put forward here.  The problem almost is 
too many ideas at the moment and not enough structure.  We need to be 
identifying some clear cut statements that we can attempt to gain consesus on 
or at least majority support for.

> Do we need a schedule for this WG?

I think it is clear we will not complete the questionairre by the 15th but 
beleive we could by the 21st or so which I would hope Names Council would not 
have problems with.  Then work through in sequential order the 15 or so areas 
identified in more detail.

My understanding is that officially it is Monday but I am hopeful that with the 
good interaction we have had here from NC members they will be understanding if 
it is a few days late.

I don't want to speak on behalf of my colleagues and I am sure they will 
clarify if I mis-state anything but all four of us (candidates) have been 
having some e-mail discussion on the lack of process and progress to date and I 
believe all four candidates are keen to get some process in place once it is 
known of course who the Co-Chair is.
