I have just returned from the Names Council meeting and will type up some
notes as soon as I get my breath, but I wanted to address this.
The room was relatively small, i.e., would seat about 60 people to
capacity, but the screen for posting email comment was quite large,
stationed at the front of the room. There were very few realtime comments
submitted by email during the Administrative meeting. Nonetheless, the NC
members did look and did address a few of the comments. If there had been
lots of comments, the system would absolutely not work because it's
apparent that it is logistically difficult to conduct a physical meeting
and address email concerns, all the while trying to deal with the
teleconference aspects (i.e., the NC members that were participating by
telephone and were having a hard time hearing the comments of other members
and audience participants).
There will be a committee (initially called Working Group D) that is going
to look at such procedures, and this is an area that needs to be worked
out, but my observation is that progress was made in this area because the
NC was certainly aware of the email comments. Volunteers, anyone?
