RE: Monday morning Technical orientation session

[Rachel Foerster <rachelf@ix.netcom.com>]

Mike, et al,

My perception is that this is supposed to be a technical orientation for not
only ebXML newcomers, but also for first-time meeting attendees or an
existing member who would just like to see the big picture.

Furthermore, it would be extremely beneficial in bringing first-time
attendees up to speed so that when they begin activie participation in one
or more of the project teams during the week they'll be in a better position
to make immediate contributions without needing recaps, etc.

I thought this was the motiviation/need identified and agreed to at
Brussels.

|If I take it correctly that "putting forward" means that you

|the Requirements time slot.  More to the point - who is
|speaking on Requirements, and
|what (if anything) do I need to do to (help them) prepare?
|
|I'm still a bit confused from your note about whether the
|general focus is to be an orientation for newcomers, an
|information meeting to help
|coordinate all of the teams, or both.  It may just be my
|memory, but I don't recall that we had a clear consensus on
|the last StC call about that.
|At any rate, since you have used "orientation" I assume it is
|primarily directed at newcomers.  Correct?  If so, then I
|think it's fine.  I have
|reservations about trying to do anything more than newcomer
|orientation.
