In general, the calls are only for WG members, but if you're in the process of joining, and the chairs know who you are, please do attend the call.  In the future, the telecon reminder will be sent to GLD WG members only.  If you have any questions, please email the GLD chairs, team-gld-chairs@w3.org.
