Hi folks,
We’ve had 7 responses to the Vocabulary Governance Survey (http://bit.ly/vocab-governance-paper-survey) and based on the sections of the proposed output document, we have coverage for both authors and editors of all proposed sections! Woot woot!
We have volunteers spanning US Mountain Time, Central Time, Eastern Time, Greenwich Mean Time. Since we are widely distributed and a common time might be difficult to accommodate, we have a couple of options
1) If we think a telecon is useful, we could
1a) keep the original VSIG schedule
2nd Wednesday of the month at: US-MT: 1400 UC-CT: 1500 US-ET: 1600 UK: 2100
4th Wednesday of the month at: US-MT: 800 UC-CT: 900 US-ET: 1000 UK: 1500
1b) Vote for a new telecon time. As a guide, here are the spectrum of times across participant time zones (ignore the date):

2) Do we need a telecon? Can this be coordinated over our Slack channel in the #service-governance topic?
Personally, I’m tempted to try this without a telecon using our Slack channel topic #service-governance with shared editing in a Google Doc. Maybe we schedule telecons as needed when there are complex discussions or confusion surrounding a subject.
Looking forward to your feedback.
cheers, Adam
