Feedback on charter
Peter,
thanks for the changes, and I agree to all of your suggestions. Let's
schedule the first phone call and discuss what is left to discuss after
people have made uptheir minds.

Subject: Re: Feedback on charter
Hi all,
Today I did some work on the web pages. You can now find the agenda and
the presentations of the BoF
I am still waiting for the agenda.
Let me now comment on Andreas' email:

IMHO "owned" may say more as you indocate here. Does DMTF have to allow
people to use CIM for modelling their own data? Others please comment on
this to get some concensus.

Again this seems to have to be discussed on the list. I am looking
forward to get a discussion going on what documents we should work on.
After a sort of consensus I will change the charter accordingly.

Thanks for this. I think it is a good idea to have regular virtual
meetings (phone or SameTime). But once a week seems to often to me, what
about twice a month?

Thank you very much for your committment. Please go ahead, but we should
first agree whether about the number and structure of the documents.
Others: please comment on this.
Cheers,
Peter
