Hi there.

I am wondering if I was picking wrong time of the day in Doodle.
Were timings given in Universal Time which is how I was selecting?

The invite I just received, states 5.00 am in UK and 6 am rest of Europe which is simply not going to work. If I  am understanding correctly, This rules me out and Andrea too potentially from ability to participate.

Dear Mohammad,

Being dyslexic I have never been able to use a doodle what’s it !  The days are not a problem.  I did try.  However  because of the time difference of five hours ahead in the UK I would appreciate that morning choices are favored.
If it is too late in the day ( late evening) I may not be able to make it.  I will do my best to attend.  I may

If I can make suggestion please use Caption First as then you can have a transcript for all who can't make it. You can then send that out retrospectively . Also the display is better with full page display on the stream text  the web page.
ASR simply does not allow this and the display is not easy to read on a one or two even three line disappearing display quickly It is difficult to read for those with any kind of reading problem and second language usage.  The money is now there for this so it can be done.
If I am repeating myself apologies!

Andrea

Thanks.

Subject: [DCAD] Extra Ordinary Meeting of DCAD

  Dear DCAD Members,

Lately, the DCAD has been quite silent and the result has been that in 2022 there was no representation of DCAD in IGF. In our understanding this has been due to mainly because of lack of leadership, dearth of activeness of DCAD members and its governance structure. We (Myself, Shabbir, Peter, Judy, and Lidia) have been thinking and discussing this issue amongst and others as well. in this context, myself and Shabbir talked to some other DCs and found that we need to change our governance model as well as find new coordinator(s).

To discuss this and decide a future plan of action, we feel that an extraordinary meeting of DCAD is necessary. So, please use this Doodle to mark your availability for date/time you can attend an online meeting through Zoom. Kindly mark as many options as you can and we’ll pick the most popular time.

https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/e36mx4Ad

This doodle will remain open till 12:00 UTC on 25th February.

We would have 2 point agenda:

1. Deciding on a Governance model.

2. Appointing a leader for DCAD;

I and Shabbir will also present a report on our findings and conclusions based on our discussions with other DCs.

I would like to propose Dr. Muhammad Shabbir<https://www.internetsociety.org/author/shabbir/> to chair this extraordinary meeting of DCAD. If someone has objection to this proposal, or to Dr. Shabbir chairing the call, please do let us know. We will be arranging for human captioning for this call.

Best,

 Judith Hellerstein
