Hi Shane,

The updated charter in your previous email looks good, thanks!

Personally I believe we already have enough people with the required knowledge and representation base on the TF in the originally assigned 6. Nothing against Théophile at all, more that I don't really see the need for additional people at this early stage.

We may want to consider having an odd number on the task force - https://www.fastcompany.com/1193130/could-your-team-be-more-effective-odd-man-out

He looks forward to lots of detailed discussion
about the requirements document, and especially his own involvement in that.

Community feedback is always welcome of course but tomorrow's update at the DB WG is only to communicate who the TF is, our purpose and charter etc. rather than hold a detailed discussion about the requirements?

Detailed discussions for the future, tomorrow an intro and Thursday a little more detail with slides, I believe is what we agreed.

Regards,
James

Friends,

I talked to Hans Petter Holen last night, and neither of us were sure
who is allowed to update the charter or approve (or not) proposed
changes. 😉 Given that, I think we're okay to update the items to
deliver and the associated dates, as per my previous mail with a
proposed updated charter.

Hans Petter was not super enthusiastic about adding people to the task
force. I am sure that he can be convinced, but clearly I fucked up by
inviting Théophile along to our meeting. I'm basically happy for
Théophile to join or not, whatever we think makes the most sense.

I talked to Denis Walker this morning, and let him know that at least I
will be at the Database Working Group session tomorrow to explain what
this task force is. He looks forward to lots of detailed discussion
about the requirements document, and especially his own involvement in that.

Cheers,
