Sounds good to me. But we do need to follow "Quaid's Rule" and be sure to keep business in IRC. > 3) Do as we did last week, have people who can't talk join the > conference anyway and ask questions in the chat room while having > someone transcribe and provide minutes. I think we need better transcription. It's hard to summarize important points in realtime. It's also nice to know who's saying things. It's also hard to have two streams of communication -- if several people are in IRC asking questions, they're at a disadvantage in knowing what's going on and being able to raise an issue with a specific point to people who are discussing things on the phone. In my case specifically, I comprehend ideas and plans better when they're written than when they're spoken but I learn more about the people doing the communication when it's auditory.
