Short period? I was thinking that if people are really interested they 
should be prepared to be around and discuss for at least 5-6 hours. I 
estimate that would be sufficient to cover ALL the contents. Besides 
most had been covered and agreed upon during the brainstorming session 
and also during discussions on the ossig list. Sure we may want to 
accommodate the views of those who didn't attend the 1st meeting and we 
may want to continue to accommodate the views of those who came the 1st 
time but couldn't make it the second time (the date of this meeting was 
made during the 1st meeting and there were no objections to the date 
then) and for that matter we may also want to accommodate the views of 
those who do not attend both meetings but are "interested" to be involved.
