Ben Rockwood argued [10] that providing an audio recording of the meeting would be reasonable, and a better alternative to non-verbal formats such as IRC. Keith Wesolowski replied [11] saying that this was unclear that it would satisfy 6.7. Roy Fielding argued [12] that a teleconference with minutes should be considered as an open session of the OGB. Glynn followed up [13] with details of the new conferencing facility used by Sun, along with details [14] of the next call inviting public participation. 9.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-April/000066.html 10.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-April/000072.html 11.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-April/000073.html 12.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-April/000092.html 13.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-April/000087.html 14.http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/ogb-discuss/2007-April/000112.html Derek Cicero mailed [15] with a status of StarterKit orders, saying that shipping would be delayed anything between 2 and 8 weeks depending on the order number.
