[governance] Caucus meeting in Athens

[Meryem Marzouki]

Hi Jeanette, and all,

As per the short and small coordination meeting among current caucus  
members, a.k.a. usual suspects, what about Sunday evening after the  
GigaNet symposium, i.e. starting from 18:30? I assume most people  
will already be in Athens.
Of course, this proposal has nothing to do with the fact that I'm  
leaving Athens on Monday morning:)
Then the bigger meeting on Monday luch time, with IGC outreach  
expectations, following Avri's proposed agenda.

Best
Meryem
