Re: [802SEC] +++++++++ P&P Ballot Resolution Telecom Notice +++++++++++++
Mat,
while I have no objection to continuing to persue P&P resolution
via teleconference I recognize the difficulty in scheduling around
all of the participants schedules and I hope we can find a reasonable
common time.
I would personally like to see 1 major change to the methodology.
When .17 has teleconference calls, we use Yahoo Messenger to
create a text conference room for all participants. This
allows the moderator or commenter to cut and paste their
proposed text for all to see. We are able to achieve
concensus on word smithing issues far quicker since people
can actually read the proposed text.
In the case of a poor bridge, IM also allows, a method for a participant
to object or request the floor. Some bridges I've been on
(with many participants) do not mix the signals well and tend
to give the "loudest" speaker the floor, drowning out other
voices.
Yahoo Messenger is free, and most (but not all) corporations
allow it to pass through their firewalls. All that is required
is that the moderator have all of the participants on his
contact list so that he/she can create the conference room and
add people as they arrive.
cheers,
mike
