Thanks for letting us know Ian.
I am in DC as you head out of it, or so it seems.. :-).
The election ballot went out Friday.
Indeed, the numbers on the calls is less than ideal.
It's a busy time for everyone, and involved in other groups in other fora outside of Kantara as I am, my sense is that this is typical.
We could appeal to the list for more attendance. Or ask for reasons not attending.
Clearly one answer will be the call time. The call time will not work for everyone everywhere, but perhaps there is something we can change in order to improve call attendance and email list activity levels.
Cheers
Colin
