Hia all
I do believe the approach to dedicate more time to the groups is positive.
A change in the meeting schedule is debated and I believe is a positive
moviment.

I have no problem with the change of Board eating.

Regarding how the ExCom feels, perhaps it is time to update the
mailing list members.

Fatimata is still on it.
Wendy is still on it.
Carlton is not on it.
Dave is not on it (but perhaps his appointment is still pending)
There are two names that I do not recognize:
tabetha.jadallah@zeusmail.org and cristiancasas at hotmail.com.
Also two ICANN staff members who I didn't think were on At-Large
Staff, but perhaps I am just not up to date: marie-helene.bouchoms
and marilyn.vernon.
There is also a digest recipient of web-user@icann.org that I presume
has some purpose.

It is a great proposal.
It seems to me that it is like going from coach to business (not yet first
class ;)).
Maybe some more preparation will be needed.
All the best
