Right (x2), but we are where we are, and need to make pragmatic use of the time available for this WG at RIPE 66, of the meeting web site, and of this mailing list. In the present circumstances, I would suggest that material for which presentation time is not available, but which nevertheless needs to be noted at the meeting, be sent either to the WG mailing list or to the meeting archive and be drawn to the participants' attention by mention from the chair during the meeting.
If people find this idea useful, I'ld also suggest "Items to be noted, for which no meeting time could be made available" as an additional agenda item, allocated a very few minutes.
I'ld also suggest that proposers and Emilio take the opportunity to do some behind-the-scenes homework early in the week of RIPE 66 in order to minimize the risk of having to spend scarce meeting time resolving any confusion which may arise.
Agreed.
Now, this was before we started having policy proposal in NCC-Services and agenda time allocations (not to say assignments ;-) didn't have to take this into account.
The allocations may need some more re-balancing. The current draft allows 70 minutes for the NCC and 20 minutes for the activity in progress in the WG. That's a data point, and neither an argument nor a criticism.
Fully agree, it's just that this time it became a bit last minute and we are working on rebalancing it...
We have shortened time allocated to the NCC presentations and I'd be happy to go back and look over that if the WG think we need more discussion time for these proposals. But me and Bijal can't take them of the agenda and I think we have to (at least for now) also respect there is enough time to give those presentations before the AGM.
Right again.
Do let me know if you think it will be helpful for me to prepare an update on 2012-07 from the proposers' POV and send it either to the list or to the meeting archive as such an "Item to be noted" as I suggested above.
I think that would be useful! Thanks!
See you in just over a week.
Looking forward to proper Guinness! Best regards, - kurtis -
