Re: shapes-ISSUE-50 (presentation requirements): Presentations to the working group

Hi Peter,

I agree with you that it is preferable to have meeting material be shared 
prior to the meetings but I don't think it's reasonable to make this an 
absolute requirement.

While I didn't expect Jose to have put together a presentation and I grant 
you that it wasn't easy to get all the details in such a quick run through 
I still think we were better off with the slides than without and I don't 
think it was a waste of time. I'm thankful to Jose for having taken the 
time to put these together to try and help us move forward on the test 
suite.

As for the rest, I agree with you but would point out that the link to 
Jose's slides is in the log and will therefore be in the minutes. That 
should be enough from a recording point of view. If anyone wants to add it 
to the wiki more prominently they can certainly do that. I'd say it's a 
good practice to add this type of links to the agenda in the appropriate 
location when they are used in a meeting.

Overall, I'm rather surprised you think this is worth creating a formal 
issue in tracker. The overhead this implies is quite significant for 
something that, in my opinion, merely amounts to establishing good 
practices. I would hope that this email exchange would suffice.
