Re: [gnso-idn-wg] Your opinion regarding changing our call schedule

["Werner Staub (CORE)" <werner.staub@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Ram,

My preference is also a single call, even if it is longer and later at 
night or even very early in the morning.

This brings me to remember that we forgot to talk about the use of the 
wiki yesterday. During the first call we had said ourselves that we 
would raise the point in the second call.

The idea would be to do more things on the wiki and spend less time on 
the call. If this means that the wiki should be password-protected, that 
would probably be better than having an official and publicly readable 
wiki that we do not really use.

In other capacities I use wikis for almost all teleconferences now. The 
wiki can be used to type in the minutes as we go. It can be used by each 
participant to add an opinion, caveat, etc. in a way that does not spend 
all participants' time. It can be used to do simple polls (simply by 
filling in a table).

In particular, we could use the wiki to work on the list of "consensus", 
"broad-agreement"  and "some-support-for" items in a way to clear up and 
agree on the precise language for each point. One or two teleconf 
participants can write into the wiki while the others just have to 
refresh the page to see the updated language.

Regards,

Werner
