Procedural Discussion

We are slowly building a set of operation procedures
that should be documented (in the
suggested documents repository at <http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/documents.php>.
ACTION: AI-1: Graham Barber: Provide
first draft of Steering Committee Operating Procedures.

Scott summarized the differing web-based "spaces"
at our disposal:
i) The OASIS public face of the Member Section is
represented at:
        <http://www.oasis-opencsa.org/>
ii) The working documents of the Member Section are
held at:
        <http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-ms/index.php>
iii) The working documents of the Steering Committee
are held at
        <http://www.oasis-open.org/apps/org/workgroup/opencsa-sc/index.php>

We noted that we were not using these spaces consistently.
The challenge of ensuring that the goal of Steering
Committee Business being open and available
to all members was discussed. The conflicting goal
of not filling Members' In-Boxes with unnecessary
e-mail (auto-informs of AIs, Calendar Entries, Document
uploads) was discussed.
ACTION: AI-2: Scott McGrath to explore
options and propose a methodology for S/C Business.

6. Future Meeting Schedule

We agreed to retain the weekly 9am PT teleconference
slot for the near future. We will revisit if
too many (travel) conflicts arise and we would also
expect to move to biweekly in the future.
