Subject: [RAI] Making RAI work better
Over the past year or so, Jon and I have heard concerns about the
efficiency and organization of the RAI Area. We have both observed
that
the larger working groups, particularly SIP and SIPPING, continue to
have difficulty tackling some of their more complex projects. The more
critical a document seems to be from a dependency perspective, the
more
late surprises seem to emerge in its development and the longer it
takes
to escape from the working group process. A relatively small number of
the working groups in the RAI Area seem to encompass the lion's
share of
our documents in their scope, which may concentrate too much of our
work
in too few areas and cause distracting parallelization.
Ultimately, these problems might result from any number of causes.
There
might be structural problems with the manner the RAI Area is divided
into working groups, issues with chartering or focusing of the
efforts,
snarls intrinsic to the technology, personnel problems at any number
of levels, questions of participant energy, or any of a number of
combinations thereof.
What we'd like to do is kick off a discussion about ways that we can
make RAI work better. As a part of that discussion we are reserving
one
of our precious timeslots for a RAI Area open meeting in Minneapolis
(at
least the Friday afternoon experiment will give us one more slot than
usual). In order to help set an agenda for that meeting, we'd like to
invite any comments and discussion on this list ([EMAIL PROTECTED]),
or if necessarily in private correspondence to Jon and I. We're
interested to learn to what degree people believe there are problems
that need to be addressed, and what sorts of problems and potential
solutions the community can identify.
