Dear all,
thanks for all feedback so far.

I think let's try Wednesdays, too.

Thanks, Maria. Looking at this agenda, I agree that there is no
particular urgency. (I'll try to conserve my ISAO'18 thoughts beforehand.)
Therefore
+ given that time proceeds quickly,
+ admittedly, given my own desire to actually participate rather than
not,
+ hoping that Sandra won't mind too much to select her constrained
option,
+ seeing a bit more time to prepare for the item "term list updates",
--> I'd like to propose that we meet next on Wed, Oct 17, 2018
at 10:00 EDT / 15:00 BST / 16:00 CEST/SAST.
That said, if anyone has objections to that and prefers Oct 10, I'm
still fine if you go ahead and meet tomorrow (then I cannot join). If no
meeting occurs tomorrow, I suggest to consider the proposal of Oct 17 as
agreed, if there is no explicit confirmation nor rejection.
Thanks and best regards
Frank
