This Thursday, Oct 19th, is supposed to be our next IDS WG Meeting. However, attendance at the last few IDS WG Meetings has been very low; in fact, at the last meeting only myself and one other person showed up.
We can't keep going as an IDS Working Group with such small attendance at each meeting. The problem is made worse by the fact that most of the attendees are PWG SC Members that really don't care about HCD iTC and HIT status, and the ones that do care about these statuses don't usually come because they already know the statuses from attending those meetings.
At the last PWG SC Meeting we discussed the situation. I noted that I do get a decent attendance at the IDS Sessions at the PWG Face-to-Face Sessions, so one thought is to stop the IDS WG Meetings which are not being attended for a while and just stick with the IDS Face2-to-Face sessions while we figure out where IDS should be going from here.
So, I'd like to here back from you - the people of the IDS reflector and on this DL -by this Wednesday your choice of the following three options:
1.
Maintain the regular IDS WG Meetings for now. We would have a meeting this Thursday at the normal time of 3PM ET / 12 N PT. The agenda would be a review of the recent HCD iTC and HIT Meetings and a special topic that is currntly TBD,
2.
Have a special IDS WG Meeting this Thursday at the at the normal time of 3PM ET / 12 N PT. The sole topic would be an open discussion of the future of IDS and where it should be going.
3.
Stop having the IDS WG Meetings every two weeks and just have the IDS Session at the PWS Face-to-Face Meetings. The PWG SC can determine when to restart the IDS WG Meetings
Please let me know what your thoughts are here. If I don't here anything I will assume it is business as usual and go with Option 1. Below is the link to the meeting if we do have it.
