Paul,
One way to deal with this is to hold a non-voting meeting where we
discuss motions and then to have a post-meeting electronic ballot, on
each motion. So the discussion could take place during the call. We
could even have a straw poll and it there is controversy discuss what
the controversy is.
The main issue is the overhead of having the electronic ballot. Maybe a
simple spreadsheet could be used to combine all the motions onto a
single spreadsheet and people could just enter their votes. It is more
overhead but it would be helpful to the WGs on motions to go to Sponsor
ballot and RevCom. We might end up with less conditional motions to go
to Sponsor ballot and RevCom since WGs would not have to wait 4 months.
I believe this works with the current rules.
Comments?
Steve

Paul,
I don't think 2 quite covers the response I gave. My points were
-- we already have continuous processing available via email votes
except for submittal of PARs to NesCom.
PARs to NesCom should continue to be an action taken only at plenaries
(except perhaps for corrigenda)
email is best for continuous processing of approval to go to sponsor
ballot or RevCom
-- therefore, I don't support having an interim EC meeting for these,
but I could see one to deal with the topics and coordination that get
short shrift during a busy plenary
Regards,
Pat

telecon meetings
All,
So far the responses generally fall into two categories:
1) good idea, need to work out details, go for it
(Apurva, Buzz, Steve, Bruce, Jon, JohnH, Subir, Mike)
2) not a bad idea, have concerns, proceed with caution
(Pat, Mat, Tony, James, Geoff, JohnL, David)
Any further opinions? A few people (BobH, Roger, Mark) have yet to
weigh
in.
Regards,
--Paul

Dear EC members,
I'd like to get your feedback on holding an EC meeting via
teleconference
between plenary sessions (for example in the 1st week of June, October
and
February). My though is we'd hold a 2 hour telecon to make decisions
on
time-critical items such as PAR approvals, Sponsor Ballot initiation
approvals, RevCom submissions, etc.
I'd make sure we'd have an agenda posted 30 days in advance an all the
materials necessary to make such decisions available for review at
least
one week before the telecon.
Thoughts? Please provide your feedback by 23APR. I'll summarize the
feedback and if the response is positive, I'd like us to consider
holding
the first such meeting 1pm-3pm ET Friday 04JUN2010.
Regards,
--Paul
