[gnso-vi-feb10] Short-term schedule
hi all, sorry my flights back home meant that i missed out on all the call-confusion yesterday. but that doesn't mean i wasn't thinking about you. :-) i've attached a little short-interval schedule for you all to think about (and comment on) before our call on Thursday. for those of you who missed the news, our schedule got compressed *again* when the Board decided to try to resolve the remaining issues with the DAG at their retreat (at the end of September). working backwards from that date, we've got a little less than 3 weeks to come up with recommendations in time to hit all the advance-notice markers. that date arithmetic is included in the little attachment. another thing that emerged from the Brussels meeting is that we aren't going to arrive at a single proposal. kudos to all -- we gave it one heck of a try. but there are just plain hard issues in this, and we just couldn't get there. so we emerged saying that we'd like to identify those issues that we *do* agree on and forward those. after that Thursday meeting, people from the Board expressed an interest in seeing the shape of the two major proposals we arrived at -- even though we couldn't merge them. so i'm proposing (without checking with my very-busy co-chair, so he gets a free ticket to disagree with me) that we do both. find the places we agree, and sketch out the final round of the two proposals. i've got a few pages in this attachment that describe an approach to doing that. i wanted you to see this stuff before the Thursday meeting so that you have some time to review/improve it. and now i'm going to dump my little Boston Whaler in the Mississippi and take a day off with my sweetie. hope you all made it home without undue troubles. mikey Attachment:
