Dear Everyone,

I hope that this message finds you well.

TNC21 Demo: Discussion Topic for Meeting on Tuesday, 16 March Next Tuesday we have our next scheduled call for 13:00 UTC (if you do not have the invite please let Ryan and me know). As I expect you are aware, a proposal for a demo was submitted for TNC21https://tnc21.geant.org/ (21-25 June), and is scheduled for 11:40 CEST (09:40 UTC) on Monday 21 June. In order to prepare for the demo, it is proposed that in next week's meeting, we discuss what should be included in the demo and how it should be run. So in advance of the discussion, we would like to invite you to give this a little thought, and share any ideas you have next Tuesday.

Meeting Times Also, aware of the challenges that the time we typically hold our meetings is inconvenient for some participants, we would like to explore the possibility of holding some of the meetings at different times of the day. To help get an idea of what might be feasible, we have prepared a doodle poll: https://doodle.com/poll/vy629fmsxnzfq8zu?utm_source=poll&utm_medium=link.

The doodle poll is set up with a view to after clock changes in the coming weeks. The date you will see is 30 April (by when I believe all clock changes will have occurred across the globe). However, the doodle poll is not to find a time on 30 April, rather to find out what times of the day are feasible for you to participate on a call, based on the following:

* Green tick - Comfortable time and usually available at this time, assuming there are no meeting clashes * Amber tick - Outside comfortable time, but can make this time on occasions. * Blank - not possible for me at this time.

Looking forward to seeing you next week.

Best regards, on behalf of Ryan and myself, Tom
