[council] Online Workshop Ideas

[Marilyn Cade]

I'm also interested in whether the ALAC has had a chance to use this approach. Iknow we are going to use more online tools to support both f-f and teleconferences. Usually groups take a little time to get used to new processes. I am looking forward to seeing  how we do with augmenting our f-f work this next week.

Hello Bret,

Thanks for outlining this idea.

It might be something for the PDP-Feb06 PDP to consider as it has yet to
start its policy considerations.

I will also pass onto the WHOIS task force to see if they would like to
try something different.

The approach does rely on each member of the group actually putting in
the work over a sustained period of time.   That is always the hard
part.   I guess each member of the group probably needs to explicitly
commit to doing that work.

I expect that the approach may work better with some shorter
teleconferences mixed in as well.

I doubt it will be as effective as some concentrated face-to-face time,
but it could be significantly better than the other current approach of
mailing lists with infrequent teleconferences to debate process.

Has the ALAC tried this approach yet?

Regards,
Bruce Tonkin
