Re: [tei-council] F2F scheduling in Lyon

I think we shouldnt be worrying about the elections too much. An open session of the council is a great idea in any case. This would be the weds morning before the keynote I am assuming? As we will have been meeting for two days already, we should have got through loads of tickets, and also recovered from that strange punch-drunk craziness which tends to appear on the third day (which I assume we are free to spend doing nothing). Which gives us the opportunity to do something a bit different, like present how tickets are handled, discuss recent major changes, etc. I'd be happy to rabbit on about pure ODD again, if that would be useful.

Looking at the schedule I'm unable to tell precisely when the keynote on wednesday is starting. One option would be to have a session prior to this where others were invited in.

If election results are not announced until business meeting, then invite all candidates to a "Find out more about the Council" session. (Potentially need a lot more space)

If election results are announced, then invite all successful candidates to a "Intro to Council Workflows" session. (Not too much more space.)

Neither of these would be really doing Council business (except maybe handling a handful of tickets to demonstrate?) but training people in what we do.

Though to be honest, if an unsuccessful candidate still wanted to spend a morning with us, then I'd have no objections.

There was talk of moving the election cycle so candidates would know if they'd been elected before the meeting, but that hasn't happened yet.

I'm of two minds: I don't think there'd be any harm in having an open or semi-open Council meeting. As you all know, I'm in favor of allowing more voluntary (if properly credited) participation anyway. On the other, we might run into space constraints (I think we certainly would at the hotel) and there might be issues with getting participants up to speed so they could do helpful work. We'd also have to talk about what they'd be able to do. I think it would be a good thing, but we'd need to do various things to get set up for it, and do them quickly, including a call for participation.

What do you all think?

I guess you're right. I was thinking the results would be out by then. Candidates, then?

How will they know they are newly elected? Doesn't the announcement of the election results happen at the business meeting? (And the ballot stay open until shortly before?)

That's OK with me. I wonder if we could offer the option for newly-elected members to sit in if they're interested? People may already be there.

Dear all,

Any objections if our meeting happens on Sunday, Oct. 25, Monday, Oct. 26, and the morning of Wednesday, Oct. 28? Emmanuelle’s trying to make the schedule work out and Tuesday is currently crowded, but there’s a free room Wednesday morning.

Please let me know ASAP if this presents a problem.

Thanks, Hugh
