ODF TC call agenda and duration

[Michael Brauer - Sun Germany - ham02 - Hamburg <Michael.Brauer@Sun.COM>]

Dear TC members,

I'm currently preparing the agenda for the next TC call, and I am 
noticing that we currently have more items on the agenda when we will be 
able to address in a single call, even if we skip re-occurring items 
like the review of action items or public comments. Some of the items 
furthermore are already on our agenda for some time.

In order to avoid that we get a large backlog of items, and to make sure 
that TC members don't have to wait too long for a discussion or ballot 
of the items they are requesting, I would like to propose two actions:

1) I would like to suggest that we add durations or times to the 
individual items on the agenda. If the duration we have planned is not 
sufficient, we may decide whether we continue the discussion, or whether 
we move the discussion to the mailing list or the next call.

My guess here is that we should reserve 10 minutes for the discussion of 
each new proposal, and 5 minutes for ballots on proposals that have been 
discussed already. If you believe that you require more time (or less), 
then I would like to ask you to let us know this so that we can consider 
this when setting up the agenda.

2) I further would like to suggest that we temporarily extend the 
duration of the call by half an hour.

The first item is something I would like to start with the next call. If 
you have any objections, please let me know that.

The second item requires a little bit more preparation, because 
extending the duration of the call may conflict with your schedules. I 
therefore would like to ask you to let us know if extending the call by 
half an hour does not work for you.

Best regards

Michael
