Subject: Re: [chairs] Voting 2/3
The reality is that nothing is going to be done about this. The only solution is to have non-meetings thru the summer, till September - where the meetings that do occur are informal conference calls - not official calls. This has the side benefits of no minutes needed, and no roll-call. It has the negative impact that items discussed are non-things and so probably best not to discuss anything being included in spec's - just busy work around promoting the work of the TC and such. Of course if you need to do real spec' work - just make sure your editors and others are not planning any vacations... or use Kavi voting for everything (make sure the TC has approved that as well of course).

I made my opinion known a couple of weeks ago and asked Jamie for an update. I got no response: > Jamie - can you update us on whether or not the meeting attendance > rule is going to get changed and when that might happen? This is creating lots of extra work for chairs/secretaries of the TC's and needs to get changes ASAP, IMO. Jamie - please respond. Rob Philpott Senior Consulting Engineer RSA Security Inc.
