Since I've only gotten one response to this email (agreeing with not
having the dialup line), I can only assume there's no dissent to the
amended face to face meeting arrangements.
I'll try to make a voice recording of the meeting and post it to the
xliff mailgroup.
Regards,
Tony

Folks:
Apologies for the short notice, but the hotel charge for setting up a
dialup phone line for the face to face has turned out to be considerably
more than was originally expected : installation, line rental, and
phone rental amount to close to $500. The original estimate of $150 for
rental of a star phone was reasonable in my opinion, but apparently
didn't include installation of a phone line or eternal line access.
The prospective attendance amounts to 3 TC members attending
physically, 1 physically attending the first hour, 3 planning to
attend the entire meeting via phone, and 3 more who will attend the
beginning part of the meeting by phone. Additionally, we will have 2
or 3 observers physically joining us. Any way we cut it, we will not
achieve quorum for the full meeting - with or without the dialup line -
and thus we cannot transact business requiring voting.
Past face to face experience with teleconferencing have proven less
effective than expected, so I'm inclined to forego the dialup services
to this face to face. However, if anyone feels strongly enough about
dialup access to offer to cover a significant portion of the phone
installation charges, then please contact me immediately, and I'll put
the order in Tuesday (note the deadline is 8am Wednesday morning -
further late charges added if installation scheduled after that)
Without dialup access to the meeting, it's essential that your provide
written input in advance. Any input submitted on the agenda items will
be actioned upon during the meeting. I specifically encourage you to
provide input to the resource types that we must address in our
canonical representation work. It is also possible to record the
proceedings and post them to the web. Please let me know if there's
interest in this option.
Regards,
Tony
