Dear Council members:<div><br></div><div>We have 9 responses (I am counting myself too) to the Doodle poll (see link below) thus far, and March 21-22 and April 18-19 are emerging as the top picks, with the other two dates being significantly less popular. We have 18 members on the mailing list. Could those who have not yet voted hold a run-off between these two options (I just voted, so you can see I am still thinking about that!)?</div><div><br></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Please indicate your availability here: </span><a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/aO819PRb" style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">https://doodle.com/meeting/participate/id/aO819PRb</a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">. Only the first date in each pair is shown in the poll. We all know that things will come up and our availability will change, so we will treat this poll as very preliminary.</span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif"><br></span></div><div><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif">DON'T FORGET! We are meeting on Zoom on November 3, 1:00-4:30 PM. The agenda (as it stands now) is attached, including the Zoom link. I will send a calendar invite by Monday.<br></span><div><br></div><div>Best regards,</div><div>Ramu</div><div class="history_container"><div style="font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif">
