RE: [wsbpel-reqts] BPEL TC issues coordination call Sept 24 11am eastern

[Rand Anderson <randerson@macgregor.com>]

Hi Monica,
Yes, agreed. My point was that the motion activity be done per normal
meeting conduct, including, as you cite, summary of the problem, considered
options, and proposed solution, along with normal opportunity for
discussion. But that the voting activity be, by default, conducted via
Kavi/web once the call-for-a-vote is made.

This is not the ideal approach, but the optimal one, I think, given the
constraints of teleconfs.

Hopefully the issues could be made available for vote very shortly after the
meeting, so that folks could actually cast their vote online while each
issue was still fresh in their mind. I wonder if there is any chance for
quasi-real-time posting of the issues to the website, so that folks could
vote online during the meeting? I'm probably fantasizing here...

HTH,
Rand
