Re: Issue-55 [Was: Re: [minutes] 2013-11-25 Chapter 7 Revisions meeting]

Top posting for the win.

This is potentially a process issue - there is no reason the process  
cannot require that no working group meeting is scheduled in a conflicting  
time or location.

I don't think it's worth putting into the process, but I don't feel  
strongly about that opinion - if Art gets some support, I'm not going to  
fight hard against a change to make that requirement.
