Re: [112attendees] Plenary last week - missed

[Robert Moskowitz <[e-mail]>]

I am one of those that remember Megan with her country kitchen triangle 
on Monday morning trying to get all of us out of the breakfast area and 
into the opening plenary....

Of course then many mornings started off with something or other other 
than a work session.  Or so my old memory tries and tells me.

IEEE 802 tends to start off with an opening plenary to "set the stage" 
and then a mid-week to look at what was done etc.

Spanning two weeks can be a problem.  Fortunately, my time was rather 
open and could just miss the ASTM weekly Thursday UAS Remote ID session, 
as I will this week.  At least I will make the Friday afternoon 
meeting.  We REALLY need to finish up the current version so we can 
start in delayed items on the next version...

Meetecho and Jabber work pretty well for me.  Gather this time around is 
really a problem.  The HotRFC was a bust:  too many people packed 
together and Gather just could not figure out who to connect to.  Forget 
about the problems with the videos, Gather itself busted.

7am ET just does not work for me; I am out from 6 - ~8am 6 mornings a 
week.  Being F2F, I handle this differently, but at home I don't. Just 
my schedule issue.  Thanks CFRG chairs for putting my slot for when I 
get back in.

I kind of like the asia timeslot.  I basically worked 3rd shift! Quite 
strange.

Enough rambling.  Got home things to do this evening.

Take care all.  Hope to be "seeing" you around in this virtual setup and 
soonish in person.  Like before I retire (negotiating a contract for 
another year. Yea!)?
