"more strict"????
sorry, but that's just not on - if all we are these days as a meeting is a
powerpoint pack swap session, then we may as well pack up all this ietf
stuff and all go away right now!
I appreciate that powerpoint does enable complex concepts to be conveyed
with some ease, and that it (and its functional equivalants) is in heavy
use these days, but I would be very worried if we get to a state that Jordi
appears to be advocating where a) powerpoint is a mandatory precondition
for presenting at a WG meeting and b) you must present according to a
previously deposited and circulated powerpoint script. We all do our best
in terms of priorities, schedules and network stability to get this
material up prior to a WG session, and sometimes it all works, and
sometimes, despite our best of intentions, it does not.
Sorry, was not my intend at all to say "mandatory power point" (or any other
format) but "mandatory to have any presentation material uploaded up-front
if you use it".
I don't want to ask anyone to have the slides some hours or days before, but
right before the session starts. I don't think anyone participating in the
session will modify its own slides during the session.
I also understand that this extra overhead from the chairs can be already on
the limit, but somebody suggested to use the figure of the WG secretariat.
Not sure if the secretariat has any additional functions, but if the cost
for me (having network) is to spend 5 minutes (actually probably less) to
upload the slides before the session, I'm happy to volunteer for that at
every WG where I'm participating.
I'm sure others will like to help also (hopefully).
Please, remember that this is not in our benefit (for those that attend the
meeting), but for those that are outside the meeting. Those people outside
the meeting are important for us. If they are there, probably in different
time zones, they are demonstrating their commitment, and we need to support
them.
Geoff
