Comments: > Interim face-to-face meetings can consume a lot of community resources, including travel costs and time of participants. After this, add something like: This makes participation in an interim meeting far less inclusive than is possible through a mailing list. Virtual interim: I suggest setting the bar at two meetings before needing careful justification, rather than four. In other words, as soon as it really does move into being a series, it needs justification. One week notification is not enough. Given the vagaries of people's schedules, notice needs to be longer. Two seems a minimum. d/ -- Dave Crocker Brandenburg InternetWorking bbiw.net
