There are currently 25 registered attendees for this meeting. As a result, there will be a formal floor control policy, where people wishing to speak will raise their hands, and will be called upon in turn by the Chair. This was effectively used at the Cambridge meeting to allow everyone to contribute to the meeting in a fair manner. 2. There simply will not be time at the meeting to bring people up to speed. If you are attending the WG meeting, it is expected you will have: o read the Goland/Whitehead and NTT proposals carefully o understand the Distributed Authoring and Versioning requirements o an awareness of the commentary on the mailing list o a good or better knowledge of the HTTP protocol These documents can be found on the WG home page, at: http://www.ics.uci.edu/~ejw/authoring/ By attending the meeting, you agree to follow the floor control policy and preparation guidelines described above. No exceptions! I know this is a total power trip, but I really believe this is the best way to make this the effective meeting we all want. When you arrive at Xerox PARC, you should enter at the MAIN entrance. Security will then escort members down to the meeting room (CSL Commons). Non US citizens should bring their passports. If you haven't already, please inform me of any special dietary needs you may have (vegetarian, kosher, etc.), so we can get you an appropriate meal. I'll be staying at Dinah's Garden Hotel, 4261 El Camino Real, Palo Alto, CA 94306, (415) 493-2844. - Jim Whitehead <ejw@ics.uci.edu>
