Subject: RE: [office] ODF TC call agenda and duration
Michael, With regard to (2), it seems that we may not need to extend the call times. I'm basing that on the fact that we ended promptly and covered the specific agenda items. There is a problem with some of the standing agenda items. I also felt that having time blocked out is an excellent idea, and it seemed to work well in this call. We were running far overtime on the errata discussion, but deferral of resolution on 17.5 put us back on track. I have two suggestions for expediting the work further: 1. Although straw polls are very useful, we found that they are difficult during the call. I think this may be because the practice is unfamiliar. I also think that it may be difficult to do quickly because it is challenging when the working language is not the native language of all participants. My recommendation that we make use of the TC list for straw polls as a way to tell whether we seem prepared to come to a conclusion. This will also provide more time to confirm understanding of what the question is and have thoughtful responses. 2. With regard to action items: It might be useful to identify action items for which movement is requested one or two calls in advance, and have responses made to the list. The call could be used to confirm a status change, at most. - Dennis Dennis E.
