Re: [802SEC] Of Ballots and Telecons....



Tony,

 

Because of my work schedule I’m trying to find something on Friday.  I’m open to other suggestions.  The problem is the west coast.  I’m also open to an alternating schedule.  It is early enough I can still change the time of the announce meeting.  Please suggest….

 

Thanks,

 

Mat

Mat -

Slight problem with the time zone calcs there - it is Fridays, 4:30 - 6:30 UK time, but that doesn't help me much. Still a very unfriendly time for me.

Tony

In the spirit of internationalization that seems to be high in our consciousness at the moment, I strongly object to your choice of time for telecons (that works out as Friday, 6:30PM through 8:30 PM UK time), which is a maximally unfriendly time for me, being well after normal working hours at the start of a weekend. If the timing remains there, my chances of making any of these telecons is very slim indeed, so I regard that choice as effectively disenfranchising me from the process.

Regards,
Tony

Folks,

I realize I’m pummeling everyone with all these ballots and telecons.  I do want to be as accommodating as possible.  For various reasons, Fridays work out best for me to hold these meetings.  I chose lunch time because I felt it was a reasonable compromise between all the time zones. I am open to other times if people feel they would work better.  Please let me know if there are preferences.

One last point.  I notice that some EC members seem never to participate in the P&P revision process.  I was hoping that the telecom format would ease that issue somewhat.  I’ve also suggested sending delegates to the comment resolution to help ease the load.  If people chose not to participate, I think it’s bad but I can accept it.  What I really don’t want is that we spend months discussing things and resolving things and then someone who didn’t participate in the process objects at the final vote.  I am hoping that people who choose not to participate will give those that did the benefit of the doubt and not block their work when the final vote comes. I am also open to other ideas for making the process more convenient and easier for everyone.  Right now, this is the best I can come up with given the goals we have set. Please let me know if you have comments on the process.

Regards,

Mat
