I would like to propose that we abandon the monthly meetings and
instead, by default, communicate via the mailing list and Jira. I
checked with TC Admin in the past if this is possible under the TC
process and it turns out that this is possible. If for some
reason we still want to have an occasional meeting, that remains
possible. Formal decisions can be made via ballots.
Motivation:
Due to the geography of our membership, there is no meeting time
that works well for all of us. For some of us the meetings tend to
be well after normal working hours, which is suboptimal for
concentration (not to mention work/life balance etc.). Also, in
past meetings there tends to always be some person not present who
we need for proper discussion or decision, or who is present but
hasn't had time to prepare. As a result our meetings have not been
as productive as we wanted for some time.
Nowadays we are mostly discussing JIRA items, this we can do as
well (in my opinion better) asynchronously via JIRA comments. If
we decide, for each period (e.g. two weeks or a month), which items
we want to close, those with opinions should be able to provide
their input. The chair(s) can propose which items to address, and
if someone has an urgent interest in a particular topic for whatever
reason, we can take those first.

All,
please find below the draft meeting minutes of our
meeting on February 10th. As we have Vamsi and Rita from Cisco
as members of the TC we can use the Webex as usual. For the next
meeting we also use the regular meeting time. Let’s discuss
during the meeting whether we want to change the time.
As noted in the minutes you are encouraged to
nominate members as co-chair!
Regards,
Sander

Co-chair
As
already announced earlier this is Makesh last meeting as
member and co-chair of the TC. Sander thanks him for his
work in and outside of the ebMS TC. The member decide that
Sander will ask on the maillist whether members want to
elect a new co-chair and to nominate candidates.
Meeting tool and time
The
monthly TC meeting are hosted by Cisco using their Webex
platform. Now that Makesh leaves the TC it is not possible
to use the Cisco sponsored Webex for the meeting. The TC
therefore next to look for a new meeting tool. It is decided
that Sander will post a message to the TC list to ask
members on options they may have. It is preferred that the
meeting tool allows for dial-in connections as internet
access may not always be available to TC members.
UPDATE: After the meeting new
members from Cisco joined the TC, so for the next call we
can still use the Webex.
Next meeting
The
next meeting is scheduled for March 9th, currently at 21:00
CET.
