RE: [council] names council teleconference thurdsay 21 september

Ken:

Thanks for this reply -- I appreciate that you're trying to move this
forward.  A few points:

[ 4. you e-mail attached SPECIFICALLY refers to a drop-dead date of
[ september
[ 28th so i asked louis to have mr crain contact me as soon as he got back
[ from his bereavement time off.
[ 
[ so as you can see... i have been trying to follow up on this and working
[ towards having the information back to you in a more substantive manner by
[ the 28th deadline imposed on us in your 17 sept e-mail.
[ 


Please take a second look at my email -- September 28 is not a deadline.  On the contrary, I told the NC that we needed answers well *before* September 28 (which was the proposed date for an NC telecon).


[ i will assume that you will honor the 28th deadline as stated in the
[ previous mail. we will bring this up for discussion at the council meeting
[ today.


Again, the 28th was not given as a deadline, so there's nothing to be honored.  The 28th was a "too-late" date.  The first request for a response was sent on July 27.


[ 4. i would assume that each constituancy is also contacting you 
[ or crain to
[ make their desires known


This is exactly what I want to avoid.  Let's work through Paul Kane, so that the DNSO groups coordinate among themselves, and Paul coordinates with John.



[ 5. we would anticipate webcasting of both the GA as well as the names
[ council sessions but are trying to get funding.
[ 


We cannot wait for much longer on the webcasting decision.  A few more days, at most.  For example, we have to purchase airplane tickets for the webcasters, and I need to know when to bring them.

Best,

--Andrew
