Which I think is also a question that was raised during the last meeting. Did the sub-team go into that?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Marika Konings:and to be clear, not expressing a specific view here ;-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:@Greg: That's what I was also thinking and hoped we could avoid. RE: 3 added designations for decision-making levels.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:A group might also opt to add recommendatins as a result of community feedback that "the group" doesn't necessarily agree to.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:Thanks Greg.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:I'm not actually sure how helpful a 24 hr notice would be, so am not sure wether it is necessary or not.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:I would add a section here to address the resubmission issue, just for clarity.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:@Greg: Agreed, but perhaps it just needs to be clarified.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Ron A:Julie: Do we have that document that Thomas is speaking about?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Greg Shatan:In the Actions #2, I think that should be Marika and Greg...<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:Oh yeah!! How'd I end up there?? :)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Yes -- you are right :-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:I'd be happy to help though. :)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Changed it!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Greg Shatan:@Amr; Just a good volunteer.... :-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:@Amr: I guess it's just because you are so helpful ;-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Greg Shatan:Merika = Marika?<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Yes -- I know a Merika too.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund::-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Marika Konings:Marika = Marika, I'm not sure who Merika is ;-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Cintra Sooknanan::)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Merika Kaeo -- she's on the SSAC but I don't think she wants to take on more work!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Merike actually (not Merika)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Marika Konings:@Amr - we can try to get you some double espressos ;-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:Thanks Ron!! :D<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Names are too similar<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:We'll be sure there's lots of coffee!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:Thank you too Marika!! ;-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Greg Shatan:@Amr -- Just don' look at your watch....<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Marika Konings:And I've even done wake up calls before to make sure WG chairs would show up on time ;-)<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Julie Hedlund:Thank you everyone!<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoPlainText> Amr Elsadr:I hope it doesn't come to that Marika!!
