It was tough, wasn't it and the polling (or rather
the handraising - polling itself should be doable in this manner) mechanism was
frustrating indeed. If the TC and the chairs feel such a large group is
too large to manage without a "Coordinator" (100 is a lot although I have seen
it managed), we really should look at moving to subgroups focusing on specific
topics - eg charter, legal, technical (the reason for the TC don't forget),
etc - pretty quickly where the issues can be hashed out in
detail. F2F's probably don't happen frequently enough to deal with
all the issues that require unobstructed free form interaction.
Just my .02.

I
would also like to strongly support Darren's statement.
So
far ...
1.
Diane asked if there were any objection - I had one as I had an alternative
suggestion
2.
We were asked to press *1 if there was an objection
3.
We were later told to cancel the *1 as someone was needed to second a
motion
Net
result, it was impossible for me to raise my objection. Therefore I am being
prohibited from making a contribution.
There HAS to be a better way.

On the basis that I
am not permitted to raise comment on the currently running call I would like
to register my opposition to holding the initial con-call as a “listen only”
call. This seems highly irregular!!!

wsbpel@lists.oasis-open.org Subject: [wsbpel] Agenda for May 16 WS
BPEL TC
Hello All,
The agenda for the WS BPEL
TC conference call on Friday May 16, 7am PDT, is below. As a reminder,
dial in information is: US Toll Free: 888-711-4576, Toll:
+1-484-630-9377, Passcode: WS BPEL Technical Committee, Leader name:
Diane Jordan. You will need both the pass code and leader name to be
admitted. Also, to be admitted to the call, your name needs to be on
the TC roster (which it is if you've received this email from me).
During the call on Friday
we will be discussing nominations for several roles on the Technical
committee, including secretary, webmaster, liaison coordinator, and members
of the editing teams for the specification, issues list and requirements
list. One of the slides below has a few words about each.
We will also need someone at the start of the call to volunteer to
take minutes. Please consider volunteering and feel free to let us
know before the meeting.
We
will try to adhere to the times shown in the agenda to get through the TC
start up process. We have a follow on call planned for Wed. May 21 at
8am PDT that will cover items we do not complete on Friday, if any, so the
way will be clear to focus on the work plan for the TC at the face to face
meeting May 28-29.
We'll have an
operator assisting with the call on Friday. The operator will take
your name when you join for our attendance tracking. All lines will be
in listen mode except the speakers until Q&A/Discussion times when the
operator will moderate a speakers queue. We're hoping this will help
make a call with so many participants more productive.
We're looking forward to
working with you and appreciate your support. Regards, Diane IBM
