Fw: Groups - oasis - Ballot "Attendance at the December Bindings F2F" has closed

Folks,

The result of the ballot for F2F are
not very encouraging - we have 5 confirmed attendees, which means for a
quorum we need at least an additional 3 people on the phone.  I wonder
whether this will really be conducive to resolving issues and progressing
the specifications, especially given the timezone difference between Europe
and the west coast.

An alternative approach might be to
run this as a virtual face to face meeting with a screen sharing application,
although of course that doesn't get around the timezone issue.

Another possibility is to postpone to
the new year, in the hope that financial limitations with respect to travelling
will have eased.  However we do still have a significant number of
issues that we need to resolve so I am reluctant to postpone the meeting.

Does anyone have any opinions on this?
 I am assuming that unless we do come up with an alternative that
is agreed by a majority by the end of the next TC meeting that the face
to face meeting will go ahead as planned, and we will need people to dial
in for as much of the time as possible, both for quorum and to actively
participate in discussions.

Regards, Simon
