Bob,
Thank
you for developing this schedule. This looks like an approach that will
focus the working group on progressing
the
work. My initial preference was to have the discussion of schedule earlier
in the meeting. However, in light of the
need
to complete the requirements document at this meeting, I can support this plan
with the schedule discussion
at the
end. Of course, 802.20 will only progress its work if we hold to the
schedule and limit debate to the timeframes provided.
Again,
thanks for the effort. I support his schedule.
Best
regards,
Joanne
All,
On February 13th I posted an email to the
reflector expressing my disappointment with the high level agenda for our
March meeting now on the web at http://www.ieee802.org/20/meet_agenda.htm.
I also suggested that we could save time by beginning our meeting at 1:00pm
Monday rather than participating in the joint wireless opening plenary from
1:30 - 3:30pm. Since that posting, a few people have expressed support
for having 802.20 start our meeting earlier, and nobody has posted any notes
opposing that idea. As a consequence, I have taken the next step to
develop a proposed revised agenda that gives us the possibility of making
significantly more progress than the one now posted on the web site.
That proposed agenda is attached to this email.
One of the requirements for being able to meet
earlier is having the meeting room available. I contacted Face-To-Face
Events and was told that the meeting room that has been assigned to us is
available from 1:00pm on Monday. We need only ask for it.
Please review the attached agenda and express
your approval or concerns to the reflector. Please note that the
proposed agenda has both the topics to be discussed and the time allocation
for each topic. Since we don't yet know what contributions will be
submitted, the agenda may have to change. The proposed schedule has
almost two hours of flexible time on Tuesday, and again on Wednesday to
accommodate such changes.
Note that with this proposed revised agenda there
are two other possible time periods for us to be holding Ad Hoc meetings,
those times are Monday morning 8:00 - 11:00am, and Monday evening. We
should look into the possibility of effectively utilizing those time slots as
well.
Whatever agenda we ultimately pass, I would like
to see both the subjects to be covered and the time allocations on the
schedule. It is only by carefully managing our time that we can make the
necessary progress.
Thank you.
