Hi Didier, I know how busy you are with the other new responsibilities you've recently took on. Thanks a lot for taking on this onorous task and re-forming the committee.
As you know, I am not involved in the DC17 decision process, even
though I sent the reminder to the teams in November. But I am
obviously following closely and with great interest, and I do wonder
about the bid status meeting you propose.
Is this really necessary, especially given the experience from the
last years? It sounds like it's going to bind peoplepower and delay
the decision, while the benefit of the meeting is unclear.
The wiki lists three purposes for this meeting:
1. Introductions from teams and their members.
2. Questions from teams about the process, and about what others
suggest they try to do on any uncertain aspects or potential
problems.
3. Questions to teams, if there are still unanswered issues.
Do we really need a meeting for any of these?
The teams present themselves on the wiki and the key
people have been around the channels for a while. What further
introductions are we seeking? Is an IRC meeting the best forum for
this? Wouldn't an e-mail or a series of e-mails, or some more
information on the wiki create much better information?
We've had a number of questions about the process by team members,
both on the list (I think), and on the channels. Is there any reason
why we shouldn't encourage them to come forth with the last
remaining open questions (if there are any…) to the mailing list?
Are there still questions to the teams that haven't been thrown on
the list in the last 7 weeks?
Are there any reasons for why we couldn't all read the wiki pages
(again), engage in a bit more dialogue on the list and simply call
for a final decision meeting in the near future, e.g. right after
you get back from your trip? Everyone's time is limited (including
that of the bid teams).
Thanks for your consideration,
--
