I personally would have found it useful to know whether people thought a teleconference would be worthwhile or not, but possibly people will have a more informed opinion after a teleconference. Instead of trying to convince you that a teleconference would not be useful, let me instead try to ensure that if we do have a teleconference, it be as useful as possible. I propose that before any meeting (including this Thursday's) we get a clear and succint description listing the following information: * What problem the meeting is supposed to be fixing * Why e-mail has failed to solve the issue, why a meeting is expected to solve the problem better * Who should call in * What people should read as briefing material before the call * What results from the meeting would result in the meeting being considered a success I think this would go a long way towards alleviating my concerns, which are based on many years of experience with teleconferences and face to face meetings with all levels of W3C and W3C working groups. Could you provide us with the above information before Thursday's call? Cheers, -- Ian Hickson U+1047E )\._.,--....,'``. fL http://ln.hixie.ch/ U+263A /, _.. \ _\ ;`._ ,.
