Hello

I'm trying to gauge interest in holding periodic phone conferences.  Think something along the lines of a quarterly shareholder's call where we discuss the status of Risk Management projects, focus the focus area, and associate names with voices.

What I would like to know are the following:

• Do you see value in such an activity?
• What frequency would you like to see (monthly, quarterly, semi-annually)?
  
• What part of the world do you live in (determines call times)?
• Would you be willing to skype in or dial long-distance for a phone call (1-800 numbers can get pricey)?

Cheers

Central Asian?  You never told us you were Krevlakistanian!

Besides, my accent is Idaho Primitive with traces of Military.  Hard to describe, hard to recognize.
 

 I also am up for it.

To update my post with the answers to your questions.

I think that in the beginning monthly then moving to quarterly.

Skype is good.

Count me in. Monthly call is good, maybe even fortnightly in the beginning to get things going. Skype is good, international calls aren't. ;-) , I am sure I'll be able to understand your accent, so as long as you can understand my central-european-***-australian accent we will hopefully talk to each other, not past each other.

 I am willing to participate as time allows.  Life has been a bit hectic of late, nothing big really, just wedding plans, looking for a new house, you know regular stuff.  :)

Quarterly I think would be reasable.

I'm central US, so time of day isn't that big of deal for me.

I'm willing to dial long-distance.  I'm not setup on Skype, but would be willing to do that, too.
