marku: update on events taken place
... on the end of the workshop we disucssed on making a group and around 12 people were interested
... so e-learning has some interest
... I am going to rearragne the images topic to fit with haptic

sh: there are 3-4 ideas so we need to decide on the order
... is there any barrier for putin a date for the next event
... there are some topics that can make a difference and i don;t want to loose momentum

shadi: there are many tpoics
... 2 things need to take care
... our cycle from making the symposium to closing is quite long
... we still don't have a timeline on when we are going to close already open topics
... the other thing is that we are interlinked with other groups... we are overlapping with other groups and we need some criteria of selection of topics
... this is also usefull in coordination
... it's good to have discussion of next topic .... but we need to move on closing already open ones

sh:

sorry... i lost audio

<peter> I can scribe

I am dropping for a moment ... be right back...

<peter> sh: need a plan so we know what we're doing

<mhakkinen> +q

sh; we got user modelling, haptics and smart images and notifications

marku: are we going to open vote to others not participating the call?

shadi: we are neglecting part of the group from the vote.... so if we want a formal vote we might need to use open voting
... there is difference between majority vote and concensus

sh: we might need to wirte a shoprt paragraph on why to select each topic

viv: I agree with shadi ... maybe we can present this paragraph in the wiki?

sh: the short description of why it is important will become part of the wiki
... we are researchers an we more or less know what is going to have an impact
... we sent an email and vote out before christmas and it all came back to the same topics...
... however if the group wants an official vote I think we can arrange that

shadi: viviennes suggestion was usefull
... since the decision impacts the course of the group so i'd like not to miss anyones point

<Vivienne> yes, that's fine

<mhakkinen> +1

shadi: maybe sent a notification and request objections

<sharper> email

sh: what the groups thinks about a symposium on developing countries and accessibility and on open annotations

marku: the annotations topic was discussed ont he ebooks workshop
... it would be good to have a topic on ebook and openannotations too

viv: i like the idea of reaching the india group

sh: So I'll present the 3 selected topics and then run through the new ones
