220507 - Doug surveyed attendees for the best date and time for meeting.
220509 - ..
220510 - Thursdays at 1600 were initially considered, before settling on a
220511 - schedule of regular meetings for Wednesday at 1600.

220531 -
220532 - At the beginning of the meeting, there was consideration of
220533 - calling Tanya Jones, so she could listen and contribute via
220534 - speaker phone. Tanya was not available by phone, so this was not
220535 - done, however, the need for, and advantage of, full participation
220536 - requires directed effort.
220538 - ..
220539 - Consideration might be given to the challenge of effective remote
220540 - participation in meetings. Efforts to use video conferencing and
220541 - speaker phones generally do not work well.

220547 - Alternatively, all contributors will get the record of meetings,
220548 - which provides a basis to prepare questions and input for the
220549 - next meeting. Remote people can call people who attend meetings,
220550 - and review their input at length. They can submit written issues
220551 - and analysis which will be incorporated into the record of the
220552 - next meeting, and/or appended to the prior record. Attendees can
220553 - then represent the views of remote people constructively.

A91106 - Eugene Kim noted that Doug has, through the Colloquium, established
A91107 - the mission of the DKR project. Eugene therefore proposed that the
A91108 - team first define "what" will be produced. This aligns with Eugene's

A91110 - Colloquium dialog, for example, on 000125, calling for a "project
