[gnso-vi-feb10] call for agenda items

["Mike O'Connor" <mike@xxxxxxxxxx>]

hi all,

here's a preview of the agenda for the call next Monday -- and a call for any 
crucial items that i may have missed.

in overview, this call will be pretty heavily weighted toward content and 
hardly any process.  i'm always navigating between the camps who want more 
content vs those who want to know where we're going.  i strayed pretty far in 
the process direction last week and received some bracing negative feedback.  
:-)

-- hear from proposal advocates

this week we'll spend the bulk of the call hearing from all proposal-advocates. 
 we'll take an hour of the call and split it evenly between all advocates who 
want to talk.  so you advocate type people, think in terms of roughly 10 
minutes each which you can spend any way you want.

-- possibly-maybe hear from the economists

this is another hold over from earlier agendas.  Roberto and i agreed that it 
would be helpful to provide the WG the opportunity to ask questions of the 
folks who wrote the report.  we're not sure whether we can get them on the 
call, but it we can we'll drop them into the agenda this week or next.

-- talk about evaluation criteria

we've got a great turn out for the Evaluation Team, so we'll spend about 15 
minutes having a conversation about evaluation criteria to kick them off.  we 
are thinking that the first job of (the as-yet unnamed) evaluation team should 
be to spend a week or two focused on refining evaluation criteria.  this 
doesn't mean that the rest of us don't get to provide input, only that they 
will do the heavy lifting and make sure that we've got a workable draft.  so we 
may want to have a bit of conversation on the list prior to the call, but we'll 
spend some of our time having a conversation about this.

that's it.  all content, all the time.  :-)

do people have any other items they'd like to see on the agenda?
