... 4 b) Distributed meeting time slot, Wed 12noon-2pm ET
... chris and I took and intersection of our personal calendars
... and looked into other groups in various organizations
... so we came up with this slot
... we would like to propose this slot for our distributed meetings

<cferris> me suggests that anyone who can't read th attendance should reload the page

Monika: the BEPL meeting has a conflict

Prasad: there is another conflict 8am-10am Pacific

Daveo: I am sympathetic with the co-chairs

pc: so that would be 11-1 ET?
... others had problems as well
... so 1 PM ET would be o.k.?

Prasad: would be a conflict for me

David: for me as well

<m2> WS-BPEL 8-10 a.m. each Wednesday, OASIS

Jeff: what time do we talk about now?

Pc: to have this call 1 pm - 3 pm ET

<prasad> sorry that was no me again. 1pm East works for me

Pc: but that would be difficult for Ashok

<dorchard> I have a meeting at 2pm-3pm ET

<m2> Could we consider a 30-minute delay to compromise?

pc: we have to tackle many time zones
... that is very difficult
... I liked to stay with the current time for this call and maybe the next meeting
... would that be o.k.?
... the chairs will take regular meeting conflicts into account
... with respect to the agenda and attendance
... could we use the current slot until the end of August?
... no objection
... 4 c) Future distributed meetings
... everybody o.k. with the current schedule?
... David, you sent the first regrets
... if we know that somebody cannot make a meeting, we will adjust the agenda
... btw, such mails should go to the administrative list

Chris: if you send regrets
... please send them also after the meeting
... esp. for good standing tracking it is useful

pc: that is useful for companies with a single representative

Umit: Do we need to have a meeting next week?
... many people take extended vacations

pc: not a bad suggestion

<maryann> works for me

pc: any objection against cancelling next weeks meeting
... no objection

Prasad asks about good standing

Chris: sometimes where are legimate reasons

Chris: like being on the plane
... so to know why you did not attend a meeting is helpful

pc: if we have to declare someone into bad standing we have to go the AC
... if e.g. there as a death in the family, we would not count that for attendance tracking

pc: if there is a different offer for the week after, we have to find a majority

... 5 d) WS-Policy WG F2F, Jan 2007
