Perhaps more to the point: this WG is not chartered on the usual
template that relies on telcons that Shelley may be expecting. If you
look at the charter it is clear that communication and decisions are
expressly marked as being made on the mailing list, which is a
departure from the majority of other groups. That difference is not
accidental, it was requested by several participants.
There are cases in which I believe we could get consensus that
synchronous communication is useful. In such cases, when demonstrated
and planned for, I'm pretty sure that we could get most stake-holders
to show up. If there are issues that require synchronous discussion,
and require some specific participants, then by all means raise them
as such. But the general case is, as per charter, that telcons are
optional.
