Re: [wg-review] [TELECON] Disappointment.

[Derek Conant <dconant@dnsga.org>]

I do not think that the teleconference idea was a bad idea, however, I
was
beginning to wonder when someone here would mention disappointment in
the
scheduling of the teleconference.  In reviewing the teleconference
related
communication, it appeared to me that there was no focus, whatsoever,
regarding
the teleconference.

I was also wondering what the parties here were going to discuss during
the
teleconference while subject matters have yet to be worked out through
the email
process.

I suggest that matters be discussed via email until there is an agenda
and until
certain subject matters are crystallized.  Then hold a teleconference.

Let's continue to discuss matters here via email and let's get back to
business
here so that I may accurately relay such information to the US Senators
I am
working with on proposing reform of DoC policy and ICANN.
