Re: [xdi] Proposed new telecon time: 1PM Pacific (9PM GMT) Thursdays?

Hello Drummond,

I see how much difficult is to arrange such a phone call. From my side,
I'll try to have the call from my home at the time you suggested.
Currently I'm looking for a cheap solution (e.g. a prepayd card for phone
call to the US from Italy), I think I would be able to manage this within
one week :-).

Bests,
Giovanni
