No. We have excluded that possibility at our first meeting. FYI, about 1/2
of the participants (or more) are flying from the US. We don't do dial in
because
3 days of meeting give all of us plenty of opportunities to expose their
view, listen
and understand the point of view of others, and make up our mind about what
to
do. We can't achieve that with dial-in. However, there are many working
meetings
that are done through conference calls, and that happened among subgroups,
editorial
team, marketing group, etc.

To follow our progress remotely, you have to rely on email. We publish the
minutes of
the meetings. You can react through email and by doing that you become an
"advisory member".
You don't get to vote but you might influence the process if your ideas are
taken into account.

Look at our charter to see exactly what this means: URL is
http://www.topicmaps.org/org/XTM-charter-final-20000610.html

Go to http://www.topicmaps.org and http://www.egroups.com (xtm-wg) for a
complete repository of the documents. (We are going to move this repository
to a new location soon, which will be easier to access).

I agree. This is why we have to find out what these feelings are.
