Hi All,
In addition to what Chaals said below, when folks meet to discuss
WebApps' specs, please do use the #webapps channel to record the
discussion (log is at [1]).
There are a number of "cheat sheets" re the IRC bots (f.ex. [2]) so
please do use those bots and if desired, we can easily assure the Zakim
teleconf bridge is available for you.
-Thanks, AB

Just a gentle reminder that if you are having a meeting there needs to
be an announcement of it. I don't want to stop people doing work -
obviously, we encourage that happening and applaud members who take
initiative to get things done.
But there is a process requirement, that you and your employer agreed
to when joining the group. It isn't just a quid pro quo for the rest
of us agreeing to go through a PAG if necessary. It is also based on
an important legal requirement that standards be developed according
to a fair process, to avoid being construed as engaging in
anti-competitive or cartel behaviour.
And of course it is good manners.
As a quick reminder, the general notice times required are 1 week for
a "distributed" telephone meeting (unless it is a regularly scheduled
meeting) and 8 weeks for a physical meeting.
If you want to organise a meeting for a particular topic the chairs
and staff contacts will be very happy to help, both to make sure we
meet the process requirements and with any necessary logistics. The
notice period is the only one likely to have any real impact, and
there is a way to approve shorter notice if it is really necessary.
But I would ask people who want to organise a get-together that they
provide the notice required by the Process, to ensure that "interested
parties" in the working group have a fair opportunity to attend.
cheers
Chaals
