> I think it's a really good idea to schedule a first conference call

> been meeting on Tuesdays (at 11am?), so would Tuesday, April 25 at 11
> work for most people? If you are willing to be on the call, please
> respond to Cathy Zahner at the email address above.

> Regarding the agenda for the May 27 meeting, I doubt that there will be
> time for Working Groups to meet. The meeting is more likely going to be
> devoted to a discussion and vote on the specification; a discussion of
> existing working groups and the need for new ones; options for the DDI
> Web site; 3.0 tools; and ways to get documentation created.
>
> If you decide not to attend the meeting, maybe we can talk about how
> best to voice your thoughts on the topics, whether written or through
> some other mechanism. I too am eager to hear who will be attending from
