Telephone calls are too intrusive. Someone might have to pick up their 
child from school at the time you have scheduled the call; someone might 
have a hard time following people in a foreign language over a distorted 
voice link (mind you, the Cloudmade-sponsored telcos are vastly better 
than any intercontinental VOIP stuff I've been participating in, but still).

I can see a role for Telcos where decisions need to be made quickly but 
there's no reason not to give ample time to everybody in the Local 
Chapters issue.

Bye
Frederik
