maintain a meeting

[Will17]

Hello!

Can you tell me if these sentences are grammatically correct, please?

"Sally won't be able to come to the meetings planned for 12th, 19th and 26th May.

We will maintain next week's meeting.

However would you agree to cancel the 19th and 26th meetings?"

Thank you very much

Will

We will still hold next week's meeting. However, would you agree to canceling the meetings on the 19th and 26th?

Thank you Barb D.

I'm surprised to see we can use the gerund after "to agree". Is it more common in American English?
Thank you
Will

Think of it as "would you agree to the idea of canceling."

I originally wrote "would you agree to cancel" but that sounded like the person you are writing to has the sole responsibility for scheduling or canceling, and "the idea of canceling" is a shared agreement between the two.
