Informal announcement of TAG teleconference tomorrow

I apologize for not having prepared a proper agenda for a teleconference 
tomorrow. I was away yesterday, and am hoping to get to it this evening. 
There will be a call, focusing mainly on getting organized for the F2F. We 
are now 2 1/2 weeks away from the meeting.

* We need to be sure that any necessary pre-meeting reading is being 
prepared. If you are responsible for a draft, please be prepared to discuss 
its status. Remember: long drafts should be available 10 days ahead of the 
meeting, shorter documents (e.g. emails) should be available approx 5 days 
ahead, so overseas travelers can review before leaving.

* I have asked existing TAG members to identify to each identify a small 
number of topics from the TAG's earlier work that they would like to have 
reviewed at the F2F with new members, I.e. to help bring people up to 
speed. I want to be sure we're organized to get this together.

* Over the last couple of months I have taken notes on items that members 
have said the want to discuss at the F2F, and have taken actions to 
schedule discussion of others. I'm hoping tonight to pull together a list 
for your review. I don't expect we'll need extensive discussion, but this 
will be your opportunity to catch things that should be added to the 
agenda, suggest any we should drop, and give me guidance on priorities.

I expect that reviewing the above will be our top priority on the telcon. 
It may take 20 mins or it may take 90 mins, depending largely on whether 
TAG members come ready to address the details efficiently. >>Anything you 
can cover in e-mail tonight will save us discussion time tomorrow.<<

I'm not aware of other things that need discussion. I think the thread 
about authoritative metadata is important, and I may proposed to put it on 
the F2F agenda, but my inclination is to let the e-mail discussion run 
awhile before scheduling telcon time. That said, we can discuss tomorrow if 
you like.

Anything else you'd like on the agenda, please let me know ASAP.

Thank you.

Noah
