As I read the schedule on the Web site, the AGM is set for 6:30 to 7:30 on Tuesday. (The Web page--http://www.oasis-open.org/events/symposium/pre_program.php--also
says the reception is from 6:30
to 7:30 - are they really concurrent, or
does the reception come afterwards?)
Yesterday, we had guessed that the AGM would be over by 7 p.m. and, accordingly, we said we would meet over dinner
starting around 7:15
p.m. Tuesday. Given
that the AGM is scheduled to run to 7:30 and that we do want to have our people
attending, we could adjust our plan by a half hour and have a dinner meeting
(or, as Don suggested, a room service dinner meeting in his company's
room) beginning around 7:45. This does mean that we would miss the reception.
However, there are luncheons and at least one other reception in the course of
the first couple of days, so we should all have at least some networking
opportunities.
Since we must have a working meeting (and I don't
agree it's a good idea to do this on a day when Debi can't be
present - we'll all be present on Tuesday, except Dave Marvit), I
don't see an alternative unless it would be to skip the luncheon on
Tuesday and try to cram our work into the hour available then. That seems too
limited.
So, I propose we modify our plan for a working dinner meal
meeting on Tuesday, expecting to begin around 7:45 p.m. We would then work through our agenda until conclusion. Is
this acceptable?

Scott - This is indeed at the last minute. When
we scheduled it, we thought we were only missing a reception. We will
consider an alternative that Jane may suggest. How long will the AGM
last?

committee Meeting
Legal XML Steering committee Members - (not an
inclusive list, sorry, done by memory)-
I just noticed your SC meeting schedule for next week
in New Orleans.. This conflicts with the OASIS Annual General Meeting.
This is not good. The AGM is an important
discussion forum and we will be presenting important budget and IPR
information-of which you need to be aware and responsive to. Your
group represents an important portion of the OASIS community-both because
you represent an important user community and a significant portion of the
OASIS community. Your input to these discussions is very important, your
unique perspective is critical.
By copy of this message, I am asking Jane Harnad to
identify other meeting opportunities available to you, so we can explore other
options for you. I do not doubt that some of your members are coming for
the meetings only (Weds, Thurs), but a quick scan of the SC members, it seems
everyone is attending the Symposium as well. Perhaps Monday evening, with
similar arrangements?
Sorry for the last minute confusion, but I do want to
impress on you the importance of your community at the AGM.
Thanks,
Scott McGrath
