I assume this refers to 10.30am - 12.30pm?

I know this is meant to go back to Ms Juliano but I wanted to share a
thought with you all.

Unfortunately, I was unable to make the last call but can I just stake a
claim now for times which are more conducive to participation by those in
the Southern Hemisphere (or at least equally bad for everyone ;-))

10.30am EST is 4.30am in the morning here in Auckland!

I don't mind getting up early (say 5.30am) or staying up for a call until
1-2am but beyond that my participation is likely to be limited (both in
quantity and quality).

Just a thought.

I've also copied this to Glen at DNSO secretariat in response to his request
of Friday, 21 December 2001 2:30 a.m for contact details.

PS.  Since I am new to this body and have only met one or two of you at the
ICANN Melbourne meeting, a few biographical details may be useful:

I am a partner in a small corporate, commercial, ICT law firm in Auckland
and have a masters degree in copyright internet law issues.  I have just
been elected Vice President of InternetNZ, the .nz ccTLD manager, and as you
will be aware am present on this body as a representative of the ccTLD
constituency.

I am 38, have three pre-school children and therefore sleep is very dear to
me ;-)
