This telcon process doesn't work!

I 
would also like to strongly support Darren's statement.

 

So far 
...

1. 
Diane asked if there were any objection - I had one as I had an alternative 
suggestion

2. We 
were asked to press *1 if there was an objection

3. We 
were later told to cancel the *1 as someone was needed to second a 
motion

 

Net 
result, it was impossible for me to raise my objection. Therefore I am being 
prohibited from making a contribution.

 

There 
HAS to be a better way.

 

David

On the basis that I 
  am not permitted to raise comment on the currently running call I would like 
  to register my opposition to holding the initial con-call as a “listen only” 
  call.  This seems highly irregular!!!

Hello All, 
  
The agenda for the WS BPEL TC 
  conference call on Friday May 16, 7am PDT, is below.  As a reminder, dial 
  in information is:  US Toll Free: 888-711-4576, Toll: +1-484-630-9377, 
  Passcode:  WS BPEL Technical Committee, Leader name: Diane Jordan. 
   You will need both the pass code and leader name to be admitted. 
   Also, to be admitted to the call, your name needs to be on the TC roster 
  (which it is if you've received this email from me). 
  
  
During the call on Friday we 
  will be discussing nominations for several roles on the Technical committee, 
  including secretary, webmaster, liaison coordinator, and members of the 
  editing teams for the specification, issues list and requirements list.   
  One of the slides below has a few words about each.    We will also 
  need someone at the start of the call to volunteer to take minutes. 
   Please consider volunteering and feel free to let us know before the 
  meeting.   

 
We will try to 
  adhere to the times shown in the agenda to get through the TC start up 
  process.  We have a follow on call planned for Wed. May 21 at 8am PDT 
  that will cover items we do not complete on Friday, if any, so the way will be 
  clear to focus on the work plan for the TC at the face to face meeting May 
  28-29.   

We'll have an operator 
  assisting with the call on Friday.  The operator will take your name when 
  you join for our attendance tracking.  All lines will be in listen mode 
  except the speakers until Q&A/Discussion times when the operator will 
  moderate a speakers queue.  We're hoping this will help make a call with 
  so many participants more productive.   

We're looking forward to 
  working with you and appreciate your support.   
Regards, Diane
