WAI Redesign call tomorrow?

We are scheduled to have our weekly WAI redesign conference call tomorrow
(Aug. 10) from 1:00 - 2:00 Eastern.  However, both Shawn and Eric have sent
regrets.  As I understand it, that means we won't be able to use the MIT
WebEx system.

We have two alternatives:

1. Someone come up with another WebEx-type system we can use for the call.
2. Cancel the call.

With both Shawn and Eric not there, I am not comfortable finalizing the
Style Tiles Request for Submission tomorrow during the call.  We need
either their signoff or Judy's before we can distribute this.

That said, I won't be on the call next Wednesday and I would like us if at
all possible to get the Style Tile pieces launched by early next week, so
we can give the designers a month to work on Style Tiles and not slow the
redesign down.

Also, I am not comfortable both leading the Style Tile sprint and being one
of the designers.  For those who missed the call last Wednesday, I think
it's a better use of my time to be one of the designers -- because I'm a
safety net if no one else has time to work on this.  I do not classify
myself as a top-notch designer (let alone an artist), but I'm adequate and
much better than no one.  Meanwhile, you don't have to be a designer-type
to lead the Style Tile work.  Probably the main thing will be acting as a
contact point between the team and the designers who do step up to the
plate during the month this work is going on.  So who is willing to lead
the Style Tiles sprint?

Meanwhile, in case we do have the call, the agenda is posted:

Thanks,

P.S. I hope I'm sending this to the correct list.  Apologies if I'm not.
I'll send it out on Basecamp too so I'm confident it reaches the core team.
