RE: [registrars] Amsterdam Meeting Attendees

["Beckwith, Bruce" <bbeckwith@verisign.com>]

RC ExCom:

As a sponsor of several RC calls when the RC was financially strapped, both
for meetings that were in the US as well as international meetings, I would
question why this is even an issue.

What better way to spend some portion of registrar dues than to pay for a
conference call bridge so that those registrars who cannot attend the
meeting in person (no matter what the reason) can be active participants in
the meeting?  A call-in bridge, for a day and a half, can't cost any more
than $1,000 - and by my calculations, 40+ members have each paid $750 for
this year.  Surely these funds must still be available?

Regards,

Bruce

Tim it is not clear if we will have a phone bridge or how much one would
cost. At this time you cannot count on being able to participate via
teleconference.

We are looking into the option but have no firm details as yet on a
teleconference bridge.
