[Imc-lwg-general] Re: [Imc-uk-process] clarification

[Planet Mail]

where there are things that are not being resolved by email best practice says elevate the discussion to irc chat, if that does not work then try to arrange a face to face meeting.

i propose that we skip irc chat for two reasons and go straight into a process of trying to form a collaborative agenda for clear discussion.

the two reasons why i say forget irc is because irc is not good where there are complex discussions and personal feelings, and that most of us are in london so face to face is logistically easy to arrange (although if a clear agenda could be built them maybe some people from bristol would like to join in too).

with regard to the 'blocks' - i think the reason people are saying 'block' is because what is proposed takes the subject of discussions and disagreements to a concrete form of resolution when the basic disagreements have yet to be either (imho) properly discussed in a structured way, or resolved.

personally i am against the proposal for changes _at this point in time_ until more discussion of the core basic issues that are underlying the more practical proposals are resolved (or at least more defined).

on a related note, I am having difficulties following (and thus responding) to the emails that have been exchanging because of their  numbers, length and the important issues within them, but that's my problem i guess.

Dave.
