[bestbits] Int'l Call to Coordinate Actions around the ITU

[Evan Greer]

Thanks Gene, and Paul,

The international conference call this Wednesday 29th of Nov will be at
17:00 UTC. Apologies for not converting the time before.

This google-doc has all the call information and will be easier to find
your country's call in number than the link I sent out previously.

If you plan to join the call, feel free to add your organization to the
list of confirmed participants on the second page after the phone numbers,
and/or RSVP to me at evangreer at gmail.com

Best wishes to all, and thanks to everyone for their important work on this
issue.
