Just a general comment: I think that as far as decision-taking
is concerned, we need to treat WG jabber sessions (and
teleconferences) exctly like face to face meetings - any
"decisions" taken must in fact be referred to the WG mailing
list for rough consensus. Otherwise, the people who happen
to attend a particular jabber session or teleconference have
undue influence.
So, it would be OK for a WG chair to write to the WG
"On yesterday's jabber session, there was a strong consensus
to pick solution A instead of B. The arguments are summarized
below and the full jabber log is at X. Please send mail by
<date> if you disagree with this consensus."
It would not be OK to write
"On yesterday's jabber session we decided to pick solution A."
Yep, that's exactly what I had in mind -- a proxy for actual
f2f meetings to hopefully cut down on the thashing about on
the list itself as people are just trying to understand one
another.
