Notes
Vision Committee (Dean)
Website CMS is now up. Many thanks to Sean Bohan.
Keith and Dean are looking to put some teeth in that. They'll talk more once Dean is healthier and Keith is back from IMA.
Standards Committee (Joe)
We had the IP conversation. Working outline of Change of Address use. Moved the conversation to the main list.
Organization Committee (Doc)
Need to get Doc to be a bit more proactive. He has mentioned he knows he needs to put more time in and will be making an effort.
Usage Committee (Adriana)
Compliance Committee (Iain)
Events
Open Discussion
Committees seem to have sapped the momentum and no synergy.
Deb suggested using the same time slot (alternating Wednesdays) for committee meetings.
She also suggested that she's not quite sure how we want to describe VRM. So, we err on the side of waiting. But maybe we should just dive in.
Dean seconds that. Some peculiar sense about not being sure how to blog about it. A question of point of reference. Dean has numerous examples, very much Doc's style of talking about things, but that's not Dean's style. So that makes it a bit harder. And there is a part of him that wants to write position papers and such.
Deb points out however, that Chris and Adriana and others have blogged VRMy stuff. But she has some questions about what it means to say "hey that's VRM" in contexts where we see it happen. She has erred on the side of caution.
What do we mean by VRM? We need a second level of a little bit more structure.
Dean suggests that he & Deb put a position piece together. Dean has access to Doc, so we'll run it by him and see if he likes it. Deb says that would be great. And that she's ready to dive in as editor. Dean will take a first draft, an outline.
