[governance] Reviving IGC: Merging Bestbits in, IGF Day zero event and other subjects

Wed Jul 17 05:55:02 EDT 2019

Good point, Sheetal and I agree with you.

I had briefly discussed the election issue with Bruna during the last
ICANN meeting and we agreed that the best time to conduct co-co
elections is right after the merger step is completed, the new charter
has been adopted and we have a unified list. I am sure Bruna was
planning to report this to the list at some point, but here you are.

I would suggest we all plan to attend the call and agree on next steps.

Regards,
Arsene
