I apologize that ice storm here has made it impossible for me to attend telecon

Proposed strategy looks good!
I did communicate with IVOA and they indicated that they could even prefer OGF21 to OGF20
I suggested ET-CG switch to group sessions

The community program is aimed at significant mini-workshops rather than individual presentations or other 90 minute events that can be done by group mechanism. I would prefer a few good "significant" projects be chosen rather than many small ones

Hi Erwin,

There are fewer than 48 proposals, as some proposals requested more than
one session.  

I realise that we won't be able to consider every proposal in detail but
I would like to briefly consider each one, seeing in which track they
would best fit.  I agree that a more detailed consideration will have to
take place off-line.

I would also like to see whether we want to respond to some proposers
with alternative possibilities.  E.g. for some, we might ask whether
they would consider running in fewer sessions.  For others, we might
suggest they are more appropriate as group sessions, or that they give a
presentation in the Grids Mean Business track instead of running in a
separate session.

Best wishes,

Dave.

Hi Dave,

Do you really want to do that online in the phone conference? Going 
online through all the 48 proposals will probably not be very 
efficient. 
Also, I doubt many of us had the chance to carefully look 
into them (at 
least, I wasn't able to do so, yet).

May I propose to do an off-line ranking according to your 
suggestion in 
the coming days (say until Friday) and then discuss the 
ranked results 
in the PC meeting?

Cheers,

-- Erwin

A reminder that we have a telcon today, at 9am PST / 11am 
      
CST / 12am EST 
    
/ 5pm GMT / 6pm CET / 2am JST / 3am Sydney.
 
I want to go through the community proposals.  For each proposal, I 
suggest we first decide whether it falls under the remit of 
      
e-Science, 
    
Enterprise, or other.  Then I'd like to rate each proposal from 1-5 
according to the scale below, ignoring whether we can schedule the 
event.  We should also decide whether the content could be 
      
suitable for 
    
another type of sessions, e.g. a Group Session, Grid Means 
      
Business, or 
    
the Developer track.
 
When rating proposals, we should consider the relevance to 
      
Grid, the 
    
international scope, the quality of the content and the 
      
relevance to OGF.
    
 
Ratings:
1 - Not suitable for OGF.
2 - A session that fails some of the criteria and should only be 
included if we need to fill slots.
3 - A good session that fits all or most of the criteria; 
      
to be included 
    
if slots is available.
4 - A good session that fits all the criteria; to be 
      
included if possible.
    
5 - An excellent session that should be included no matter what
