Re: [gnso-vi-feb10] RE: Notice: VI Call Thursday with the Economists Salop/Wright at 20:UTC

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

hi to all,

this is essentially a carry-over item from the very first agenda, much delayed 
due to scheduling troubles (first ours, then theirs, then ours).  i've been 
signaling that this is going to happen in my "call for agenda items posts" the 
last couple weeks.

imagine this is the first week of the WG and we're all reviewing prior 
foundation documents and hearing from the people who produced them.  this is an 
opportunity to ask questions, solicit ideas, etc.  we're not expecting that 
this will generate huge shifts in position or direction, but is a good resource 
for those on the WG who are perhaps less familiar with the run-up to the 
working group than others.  that's part of the reason we're scheduling the call 
offset from the weekly working-group calls.  it's to be considered a resource 
call rather than a decision-making call.
