Subject: Re: Re[2]: Re[2]:today's conference call
Dan,
As I pointed out to Mark, we have a span of 17 time zones (I think you may
make it 18 or 19). That makes a conference call pretty hard to do without
someone being stuck with an awful hour.
Could you suggest a time by posting it to the TP list? Please express it
as US Eastern time since that's the time we have been discussing.
Regards,
Marty

Hi Martin,
I would love to be involved in Wednesday's conference call. But
getting home at 2am and having to show up in the office at 10am does not
allow me to take part in it. Would be good if we can have the session
brought forward to a more humanly hour for people like me in these parts of
GMT+8 . I would very much like to be involved in the upcoming conference
call.
Thanks
Best regards,
Daniel Ling

Mark,
As I believe I mentioned, the 4 p.m. start time was worked out during the
team meeting on Friday, Aug. 11 during the San Jose ebXML meeting.
Participants in the discussion included people from a range of home bases
from the US West Coast to Japan, spanning 17 time zones. 4 pm was viewed
as the "solution of least pain". 4 pm on the US East Coast equates to 6 am
in Japan if my arithmetic is not faulty. People from Europe did not
complain about late evening and perhaps there was no one present from
Singapore etc. We also attempted to work around the attendees' fixed
committments such as other ebXML conference calls.
To everyone on the list: Mark Crawford is requesting an earlier start time
for the conference calls. I believe that he would be satisfied with 2 pm
US eastern time. I have no personal problem with the calls being Wednesday
2 pm instead of 4 pm. To reduce the number of variables, let's consider
only Wednesday. Please let me know if Wednesday 2 pm US Eastern Time is or
is not satisfactory. If I do not receive responses, I will assume that 2
pm is satisfactory.
In order to give people a reasonably time to reply, I am not going to
change the time of this week's call. It will be at 4 pm US Eastern Time
Wednesday per the previous announcement.
Regards,
Marty

Marty,
Please advise when minutes and attendance roster from first conference call
will
be available.
Not to beat a dead horse, but I am afraid I just don't understand how a 4
p.m.
EST start time which equates to a 4 a.m. start time in Japan (and even
earlier
start times in Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, et al) is more beneficial to
facilitating Asia participation. And oh by the way, what about europe
where 4
p.m. equates to 9 p.m. or later.

Mark,
I am unwilling to cut out the possibility of Asian participation in the
calls on the basis of attendance on the first call. There were certainly
Asian people at the team meeting on the last day of the San Jose meeting
who argued for a time which permits their participation.
If you would like, please send me an email requesting the time change and I
will post it to the TP list for comments.
By copy of this note, I am asking Karl Best to check into why you have been
unable to subscribe to the TP list. I am assuming that your subscribe
request appeared to be successful.
Regards,
Marty

Marty,
The question was who participated, and if there was no asian participation
(as
was the case for all Requirements conference calls) then why not accomodate
those that do wish to participate? As for posting to list, I would love to
do
so, but continue to be precluded by the ebXML listserve from any postings.
