Agenda for Security Services TC 2 March 2001 F2F

I'm in an extreme rush and have been having technical problems, so I can't 
FTP this to the actual SSTC site.  (I've copied security-editors in the 
hope that Jeff H. or Karri M. will FTP it for me.)  However, the attached 
new "meeting page" (whose older version is at 
http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/f2f-2march2001.shtml) 
contains the agenda I plan to propose at the beginning of the session.  It 
shows the big substantive areas we need to cover.

Bob B.'s proposal for a Robert's-style approach is exactly what I will be 
using on Friday.  I hope that people won't be put off by seeing the "bones" 
of the approach; it probably won't feel very formal or constrained when 
we're in the middle of it.  I won't require people to say things like "I 
yield to the distinguished gentleman from Cupertino." :-)  My goals in 
using RROR are the same as the goals of the OASIS folks who set up these rules:

- Ensure objectivity *and* the appearance of objectivity
- Keep order in the proceedings (especially since our group is so large)

However, this means that there are some requirements on how we do our 
work.  I want to keep the focus on *specific* motions to *take some kind of 
action*, rather than have us devolve into general discussion.  This means 
that, in general, we will be considering wording changes to proposals, 
recommendations, and motions that are on the floor.  Check out 
http://www.constitution.org/rror/rror--00.htm for RROR online, which 
includes a quick reference to motions and their order of precedence.  (I'm 
actually not a huge expert on this stuff!  Bob B. will be my parliamentarian.)

Everyone, please copy or print the strawman document files and other 
relevant files from the http://www.oasis-open.org/committees/security/docs/ 
area.  I will not have hardcopies of these documents available at the 
meeting.  If you think this will be a problem, let me know and I'll try and 
have a few copies made.  If you have a laptop with a floppy drive, bring 
that, and we'll use it to transfer files you need.  We will also have a 
computer projector for showing documents on the big screen.

I'm still looking for a secretary.  Taking minutes is not as bad as it 
sounds, and it will keep you awake!  Please consider volunteering for this, 
or you may be subjected to "being volunteered" by me at the meeting.  I'm 
looking for a morning person and an afternoon person.  I will call the roll 
myself.

See you all on Friday!
