I have read the Charter of CCWG-A quite carefully, and it is silent on most matters of pure process, presumably giving the co-chairs significant discretion regarding things like the timing of meetings and phone calls, etc.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>Perhaps you could share with me, and the group, the metric you use for establishing the suitability of a proposed way forward? I ask only because there has been significant (at least in volume and depth of feeling) objection to the proposed 8 calls @ 3 hours/call for the month of January. Some of have suggested a FTF meeting instead; others have suggested a development of process options approach. Others (me included) have suggested that so rushed a process is exclusionary and calls into question the substantive output that may result.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>So that I might better understand how you make decision, I was hoping you could tell me (us?) all: How do the co-chairs account for these objections and determine a way forward?
