Dear NCSG members, and especially our representatives, This is an awkward email to write, but it seems to have become almost standard operating practice for us to start meetings and calls 5 or 10 min late to wait for people to show up. In ICANN meetings we have to live with the ICANN culture that is pretty much the US corporate culture - a culture which values punctuality and being late is viewed as unhelpful and possibly disrespectful of other attendees' time. To facilitate more effective working culture, I kindly ask you to try to be on time for meetings and calls, so that NCSG conveys the professional and respectful image that our group well deserves. With kind regards, and see you in San Juan (in person or virtually), Julf
