Best Practices

fjh: not essential, nice to have
... could pull sth together ..
... might put sth on list if time ...
... calls next week, in two weeks after that ...
... need to decide that we're either doing or not doing it ...
... in reality, new group to start in mid-May ...
... at least that's my anticipation ...
... this one might go on a tad beyond end of March ...
... if we want to, could use some of that time ...

tlr: should take up overtime vs extension question at transition call

fjh: discussed that at CG

hal: do we expect more people -- slot?

fjh: open to suggestions
... don't know who else would join ...

hal: time slot unattractive for west coast

fjh: assuming people here interested in continuing

<tlr> suggest time slot for working group to decide

fjh: don't erase slot from calendars

hal: not much competition

fjh: make progress on best practices
... not a showstopper if not
