Re: small logistics reminder - meeting minutes -

Hello Terje,

You got our attention -- message received!  Really, thanks for your input 
and feedback.  We have discussed the problems at today's telecon, DRAFT 
minutes at [1].  We will be doing several things to improve communication 
and visibility of our work.

By the way, a question about minutes format/quality:  the style that you 
see, for example

### begin sample ###
LH first of all we completely agree that a lack of activity
... on IG list is not good.
... We should keep the IG list more informed.
... the QA WG needs also a Core of regular people working on things to 
close the issues.
... It will be difficult to separate the two things?
... A little bit reluctant to move everything to the IG list.
### end ###

is a result of doing the minutes on IRC and capturing the log.  Several of 
our minutes (even final) have this format.  Is that a problem, i.e., too 
distracting or hard to understand?  For those QAWG members who like to do 
minutes this way, it is a real benefit for real-time visibility to QAWG 
members and any others who tune in to the IRC channel.

Regards,
-Lofton.
