[soa-rm] New Orleans - some organisational Qs

[<peter@justbrown.net>]

Duane, all:
I had voted "no, I can't be there" for the New Orleans F2F 
ballot, but I *am* in favour of the meeting taking place. 
I don't know whether KAVI permits customisation of ballots 
but it would be useful to be able to distinguish in future 
between "can't be there in person" and "can't participate 
at all", "objection to meeting date", and "don't care if 
someone else is buying the drinks", etc.

Could I make one plea that the "morning" dial-in slot 
(10-11 local) be dedicated to administrative and 
organisation stuff (if needed), and the later one to 
substantial stuff.

Also, if the appointed meeting scribe could do regular 
postings to the list during the day (or wiki, blog, 
anyone?)with an encapsulation of what's been/being 
discussed in the F2F, that would help concentrate minds 
and attention during the narrow window we will have for 
the confcall, and avoid us wasting bandwidth going over 
well troden ground.

Finally, I would hope that the TC can see beyond North 
America for a future F2F.
