I'm trying for a 3rd time to schedule our next board meeting.
*BEFORE Aug 28*, please register your availability for the next IdPy Board
meeting, which we plan to schedule between Sept 14 & 25:
*https://calendly.com/d/dtqg-snk-3vj/idpy-board-meeting-2026-q3-mid-late-sep-dates
<https://calendly.com/d/dtqg-snk-3vj/idpy-board-meeting-2026-q3-mid-late-sep…>*
I sincerely thank those who respond to availability polls quickly.
Unfortunately, I often don't hear from several members unless I send
additional requests. Quick responses support project momentum and reduce
project coordination costs. *Thank you for your prompt response.*
Thank you.
Best, Laura

We are looking forward to seeing those who are in Helsinki at Henry's Pub

afternoon.
We will wrap up in time to attend the conference dinner.
See you in a few hours!
Best, L
IdPY Board Meeting/Gathering

Eastern Time - New York
Location
Henry's Pub Helsingfors, Mikonkatu 15, 00100 Helsinki, Finland

We won't have the full IdPY Board in person at TNC26 this year. We had a
productive conversation in an informal setting during TIIME in February, so
we will be trying something similar at TNC.
Please join us at Henry's Pub Wednesday, Jun 10, located between the
conference and dinner venues. We will plan to chat about the upcoming Town
Hall meeting, and the progress on our technical plans.
I look forward to seeing you there.

Hello IdPY Board Members,
We are beginning to plan the next round of IdPY meetings for April and
would like to schedule the following sessions:
- IdPY Town Hall Meeting (60-minute virtual call)
- April IdPY Board Meeting (60-minute virtual call)
One goal of the Town Hall is to gather community feedback and support on
topics the board has been discussing over the past months. Given this goal,
we hope to have strong representation from board members and technical
contributors, though attendance will be optional.
To help us schedule these sessions, please indicate your availability for
the following recurring windows during the weeks of April 13 and April 27:
- Mondays: 9:30 AM - 12:00 PM EST
- Wednesdays: 10:00 AM - 11:30 AM EST
For the April Board Meeting, we will need a quorum to conduct business and
votes. If you are unable to attend, you can send a representative, submit a
proxy vote, or indicate an abstention (votes will be shared in advance).
Once we gather everyone’s availability, we’ll confirm the final dates and
send calendar invitations. Thank you, and please feel free to share your
availability at your convenience.
Best,
Jameelah
