Just so the hierarchy discussion
is not the only topic on the list...
For the last two calls, we've not
discussed the face-to-face meeting. Based on my company's travel restrictions
and my personal need to plan something like this in advance (especially in
regard to the proposed June dates), I offer the following
questions:
1.
How long will the face-to-face
meeting last?
2.
Specifically with the June dates
in mind, would we try to meet on the weekend before, during the conference,
the weekend after, or weekdays during the week before or after? This is
probably dependent on the meeting's technical details and the length of time
for the meeting. I'm not up on the content of the conference so I don't know
whether any attendees would consider that time expendable in favor of an
eContracts meeting.
3.
How many people would we expect to
be there?
4.
Is there any kind of registration
process?
5.
Who will be making arrangements
for meeting space / hotel room blocks / etc.?
6.
How will charges for meeting space
be handled?
7.
If a meeting is held at the end of
June, can an agenda be published a month in advance?
8.
Is the meeting limited to those on
the mailing list or can a wider audience take part?
9.
Will folks who cannot travel be
able to participate in some way... via conference call for
example?
10.
Are there any OASIS-Open
requirements we have to meet? Where are those referenced?
11.
For the proposed October meeting
in AU, with whom do we coordinate in OASIS-Open or are we strictly on our own?
Will OASIS be making space available for groups to meet in conjunction with
the conference?
