Hello Katy,

May in Germany would be fine for me. Before the meeting, is it possible to have a compiled file of last years request from the partner organizations, response and proposal of the FDC and response and feedback from the partner organizations sent to the advisory group please? I know they are all on meta but it would be more convenient to have a compiled file with them altogether.

Greetings
Ting

Hello again, members of the Advisory Group,

I have heard back from some but not all of you about your availability for these proposed dates in May. Several of you have confirmed availability, while others have noted some challenges in scheduling and logistics.

Please note that costs associated with your participation in the Advisory Group meeting will be covered by the WMF/FDC budget. 

To those of you I haven't heard from yet, I look forward to hearing about your availability!

Cheers, and with sincere gratitude for your work, 

Katy

Hello members of the FDC Advisory Group! 

Happy New Year to you all! As you know, the Advisory Group will evaluate the first two year's of existence of the FDC and make recommendations to the Executive Director on how to proceed. The FDC staff would like to begin planning for the Advisory Group meeting, which will be in May 2014. 

Based on your suggestion, and confirmed by the FDC, we would like to plan for a half-day of overlap with the FDC members themselves. The FDC deliberation timeline tight, and is likely to be held May 21-24.  The location has not been confirmed, but is likely to be in Europe, quite possibly in Germany.  

Therefore, we'd like to propose to you that the Advisory Group meeting be held on the 25-26 May (Sunday and Monday) in Europe (again, likely in Germany). We suggest two days, though you may feel more or less time is needed. Note that these dates overlap with the US holiday weekend (Memorial Day). 

I have two requests for you: 

1. Can you kindly confirm to me off-list whether you would be able to attend this meeting? 

2. We would like to suggest a small group of AG members help the FDC staff (that is Anasuya, Winifred, and me) to plan the agenda and create a list of issues for the AG to address. Can you let me know if you'd like to join this group?

Please let me know if you have questions or concerns. Looking forward to your engagement on this work. 

Many thanks to you all! 

Katy

I think a 'day overlapping' would be a good idea.

Time and place - I am willing to go most places, Dates need to be settled soon as my family are making tourism plans.

Regards, Richard.

Thanks, Richard! Here's a quick question for "all of you". :-) Would you
like to have a day overlapping with the FDC members so you get detailed
feedback from them, or are you fine with simply getting written
recommendations from them for your task? The FDC is open to a f2f
meeting, and that will also influence timing abdominal venue, of course.

Warmly,
Anasuya
