Dear Joana<br>
<br>
Thanks for this. The list covers as far as I can see the main
concerns.<br>
<br>
I hope that there will be clear answers to them forthcoming. If not,
then perhaps we need to consider next steps as there is little time
left to spend waiting for these answers.<br>
<br>
That is a pessimist view. For now I will opt for the optimist one
and support the suggestion Joana makes below that all reps on all
committee pose the same questions.<br>
<br>
keep up the good work!<br>

<div>Dear all, <br>
<br>
</div>
The reps from the Committees will assemble on the 27th and there
are a set of different important logistical question to the
addressed asap in order to help our preparation. These are what
I've listed in different interactions with different lists:<br>
<div>
<div>
<div>
<ul style="font-family:arial,sans-serif;font-size:13px">
<li style="margin-left:15px">Is it going to be
invitation only?</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">If invite only, what are
the criteria for invitation? Who decides who gets
invited?</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">There will be travel
support?</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">If yes, does people who is
willing to attend by it's own cost can also be
invited? What are the restrictions?</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">
There will be remote participation?</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">
What does participation mean? Are all participants
able to speak and contribute to decision-making if the
meeting is indeed outcome oriented?</li>
<li style="margin-left:15px">Is the final deadline for
proposals really March, 1st (in the middle of
Brazilian Carnival)</li>
</ul>
As the lack of final/clear/formal answers on these issues
(and maybe others) is influencing the preparation process
and our ability to plan our actions, I think this
questions, and any additions (as far as related to
logistics), should be formally delivered to LOC, even
before the meeting, by Friday at the most.<br>
<br>
I've posed them to 1net steering as well, as it seams
Adiel will be attending that particular meeting. So they
can also be posed with support of other stakeholder
groups. <br>
<br>
But, as 1net is not our only channel, it would be good if
we could also reassure that our elected CS reps on EC
(Adam and Marilia) have these (or more) questions formally
reinforced also as a priority from their constituencies in
the meeting on the 27th. (sorry for the cross post)<br>
<br>

<div>+1? Suggestions for more questions? <br>
