This having been said, as you know, I’ve been somewhat interested in figuring out new modalities for meetings, or at least getting data to have the discussion.  Part of that was environment, part of that was effectiveness.  I don’t think any of us really considered the situation we are in today, and perhaps in April we will have a better idea as to whether additional process would be helpful.   Well, really you, Jay and the leadership will have war stories to tell us.

It may be premature for this group to engage with that person.  If my memory is correct, then perhaps we have to wait a few months, presumably until after Madrid, before even beginning to have the discussion about what we can reasonably consider improving.


One thing I’m concurred about at present is how much people would like to tweak as you call it the running code, with these things there is always something in-flight and we should permit the things after those documents to land then measure the results.  It may be helpful to document this someplace so we know what meetings were held with 8718 and 8719.

We also may yet see a giant experiment with 107 that is unplanned.  I for one would prefer to see many of the in-person meetings have less of a track experience and more of a cross-area experience as I believe that may be valuable.  

It’s also possible our standards space has escaped what can be practically dealt with by lone individuals who are not permanently employed to engage in the space.  These don’t directly relate to mtgvenue other than determining what can and will be scheduled and the usual time slot conflicts that exist.
