[Mike Edwards <mike_edwards@uk.ibm.com>]

Folks,

The suggestion of a virtual conference
for 4 hours each day seems a good compromise.  We would all like to
meet in person - and I am sure that
faster progress gets made on difficult issues with a F2F, but it looks
like the
F2F cannot make good progress this time
due to limited numbers.

I can commit to attending a virtual
conference 7:00 - 11:00 Pacific for the days concerned.

Regarding  technology, some of
you will be aware of the LiveMeeting technology that I have used in the
past
for some of the Assembly meetings.  I
can make this available again.  It is good for screen sharing and
allows the
pen to move from person to person.  It
does not make excessive demands on communication lines.


Yours,  Mike.

I agree that postponing would put our schedule in
jeopardy.

Another option is to have the f2f meeting and make unofficial decisions;
designate specific time/duration each day during which folks who can't
attend in person will dial in and make decisions during that time.

Looking at the ballot, I'll observe that there are a lot of active 
members who won't be able to attend in person. That's not good for 
making decisions which won't be reopened. Given this, a virtual f2f 
seems like an attractive option. For the timezone issue, we could have
the virtual f2f say from 7am-11am pacific from mon-thursday. Monday was
designated a travel day in any case.
