Revised Timeline and New Bug Priority Policy

   paulc: rich and the a11y tf have asked for the schedule to be
   revisited given upcoming events
   ... chairs have replied
   ... chairs would like to get a concrete proposal
   ... it's hard to get others to respond without there being a
   concrete proposal on the table
   ... laura's revert request

   paulc: the chairs can't convene until early next week due to travel
   etc.

   <paulc> The Chairs will process this request early next week when we
   can convene a meeting with all three co-chairs present.

Chair and Scribe for next meeting

   paulc: it's mjs's turn to chair next week
   ... volunteers to scribe?

   paulc tentatively volunteers

Revised Timeline and New Bug Priority Policy

   paulc: summarizes previous conversation to rich

   <paulc> "If you would like us to consider a change, making a
   concrete proposal "

   richardschwerdtfe: my main justification is, if we have counter
   proposals, will we have time to address them in that 1 month period

   paulc: please respond to sam
   ... would help to paramaterize, e.g. "if we get 10 CPs, we could use
   N weeks instead of 4 weeks"

   richardschwerdtfe: sounds fair

Adjournment

   paulc: we are adjourned
