RE: Meeting notice for 20/21 July 2010 meeting



Paul,

 

There is no time that is convenient for all.   Email is used to extend the meeting to make sure all voices are heard. This is also why I have asked for the argument for and against the various item on the UPAMD overall goal get published and commented on before any voting takes place.  I may try a straw poll to prioritize the number of options. 

 

I have tried to skew the time for the largest number of participants.  We did have some folks from Europe (2AM) on the last call.

Bob,

The time schedule is again not convenient for european countries (2 am)

I copy this email to Didier Boivin who is based in California. I will ask him to attend.

however other colleagues from europe who don't have subsidiary in US won't be able to do the same.

UPAMD:

 

The next teleconference will be 20/21 July 2010.  This follows the 2 week schedule.

 

Attached are the meeting preliminary agenda, corrected to date, unapproved minutes of the July 6/7 meeting.  

 

As of now there are 108 people on the reflector.  The current voting membership is 31, giving us a quorum of 16. Please see the membership list for voting members on the private page. The latest is the one dated 20100715 at the close of the ballot period.  Voting membership is earned now by two consecutive attendance/email contributions.  Missing 2 meetings attendance/participation  loses voting privileges.

 

Please send me and the group any additions to the preliminary agenda.

 

Send any comments, positions, additions on the General Goals ONLY to the reflector to prepare for the discussion on those topics.  I expect to do a preliminary poll on the topics for the general goals following the meeting with a formal vote after the next meetings discussions if the group feels it is ready and a call for a vote is presented.

 

Please restrict the discussion to the General Goals.  Other goals and solutions will be measured against these goals.

 

I have received a communication from the USB-IF stating: “The USB-IF request that the UPAMD WG not use any USB standards as a reference or otherwise at this time.” 

 

Based on this communications please remove the USB option from the communications options.

 

Respectfully,

 

Bob Davis

Acting Chair.
