RE: [tac] Conference Call Frequency [EXT]

["MARONEY, PATRICK" <rx118r@att.com>]

Jane, et al,

I think some kind of accommodation for meetings in general, and those that count for voting rights in particular would be a much needed improvement to our processes.

Difficulties supporting meetings go beyond just time-zone differences.  I often have conflicts with mandatory work meetings that conflict with OASIS meeting schedules.

Recording the meetings and using ballots to record votes for decisions would seem to be a reasonable accommodation.

I don't to what extent we can meet OASIS Open policies/procedures and virtualize the meetings that count toward voting eligibility, as well as those that discuss key topics (I've had to miss very many of these).  We'll have to hear from OASIS on this, but I would really like to find a way to extend our inclusiveness and opportunities to participate substantively.

Dean:

This is a really good point... and, one that we've struggled with in the CTI TC. We solved that problem by holding the two sessions for the CTI TC Monthly Calls. The TAC TC is a smaller community; therefore it might be difficult to justify such a schedule.

Would a recording of Working sessions or Monthly calls be helpful for you? I'm just wondering how we can make the real-time dialogue more accessible to our TC members in Europe and Asia/Pacific.  I can't really capture all of the nuances of the discussions in the written Meeting Notes. If we record sessions you could listen at a time that would be convenient to you, then comment on the list.

We would have to work out a different strategy for enhancing cross-timezone/cross-region engagement during official actions. I'm thinking the Ballot process has proven to be the best for that. What do you think?

For example, every TAC Monthly call that happens is approx. 2am to 3am local time for myself based in Australia.  In some cases I have been able to make it and sometimes fallen asleep waiting for it to start.  I get that the meeting time is dictated by the majority (of which I am in the minority based on my geo location), but if we want to start put working calls into the mix and we want to incorporate voting rights, then I think the timing of the meetings also need to be looked at.
