Subject: Re: UBL coordination meetings
UBL TC, We held our first coordination call this morning with somewhat disappointing results; only five people attended. (For the record: Jon Bosak, Eduardo Gutentag, Mark Crawford, Sue Probert, Anne Hendry.) We got some work done (see below), but this isn't critical mass for attacking the big issues we need to resolve. In retrospect, the reasons for the poor turnout aren't hard to see: - The meeting was announced less than 24 hours in advance - Some key people simply cannot ever attend at the time chosen by the CSC - I didn't provide the call number, assuming that everyone knows the UBL bridge number by now; for future reference, here it is once again: ############################################# STANDING INFORMATION FOR UBL CONFERENCE CALLS U.S. domestic toll-free number: (866)839-8145 Int. access/caller paid number: (865)524-6352 Access code: 5705229 ############################################# We will hold another coordination meeting next Friday at the same time (7 a.m. in California) and number (see above). Meanwhile, we will discuss the continuing schedule and format for this call at next Wednesday's CSC meeting. The outputs from today's call were as follows. UBL CONCALL SCHEDULES One thing that became clear in trying to plan for coordination meetings is that we don't maintain conference call schedules in a single place. The kavi interface actually does provide such a facility, and we should start using it consistently. In the meantime, here is what appears to be our schedule at the moment (all times in the California time zone, known in the U.S. as "Pacific Standard Time"): Mon LSC 07h00-08h00 monthly Tue LCSC 07h00-09h00 weekly Wed CSC 08h00-08h30 weekly NDRSC 08h30-10h30 weekly CLSC 10h30-12h30 weekly Thu TTSC 08h00-10h00 weekly FPSC 10h00-11h30 weekly ISC 11h30-13h30 weekly Fri Coord 07h00-08h00 weekly Q/A 08h00-10h00 weekly CALL CONTINUATION After the meeting in Montreal, I switched the concall default from "continues after host hangs up" to "must enter *8 to enable." This has caused a lot of problems, so after all the calls are done for this week, I am going to have the default changed back. AVAILABILITIES In order to schedule more effectively, we need to know weekly availability and nonavailability for each active UBL member. I will be sending separate mail later to ask everyone for this information. CROSS-POSTING Duplicate mail messages are driving people crazy. From now on, please avoid cross-posting between subcommittees. If there is something that needs the attention of more than one SC, post it to the general UBL list (the one being used for this message). INDIVIDUAL RECIPIENTS For the same reason, please remove names of individuals when replying to mail from UBL lists. Otherwise, they accumulate in the mail header and result in annoying duplicate messages. (Like many people, I have been keeping the address of the individual to whom I am replying in the "To" line in order to make it clear who it is that I'm responding to. I will have to stop doing this and instead put the name above the fragment quoted in the body of the message. Also, though we can't require this, it is enormously helpful to excerpt the part you're commenting upon and put it inline rather than simply appending the whole thread at the bottom of each message.) TBG17 SUBMISSION Jon Bosak will contact Stig Korsgaard to ascertain the status of our submission to TBG17. ISSUES LIST Anne Hendry will begin constructing a detailed coordination issues list in preparation for next week's meeting. Jon
