| 18:45 | <littledan> | I drafted a letter to Ecma about the stenography issue: https://pastebin.mozilla.org/Jik8gc1N |
| 18:46 | <littledan> | If you have any feedback, please let me know over the next 24 hours before I send it |
| 18:46 | <littledan> | (or, let me know if you think I should wait longer before sending it) |
| 18:55 | <ptomato> | great. I wonder if it's not too dismissable, but you know the audience better than I do |
| 18:56 | <littledan> | well, how could it be reframed to reduce that? |
| 18:59 | <ptomato> | I'm just worried about Istvan showing up and saying something like, "well I told them it wasn't necessary, so the matter is settled already" |
| 18:59 | <littledan> | Istvan is excluded from most of these discussions; this is why he was expressing so much confusion in his update to committee |
| 18:59 | <ptomato> | ok |
| 19:00 | <ptomato> | one way to make it less ignorable could be to add that delegates are reluctant to go back to giving up their participation in the meeting just for taking notes; that ups the urgency a bit. but like I said, you know the audience better than I do, what I said might backfire |
| 19:02 | <littledan> | Well, this could go either way, but I think explaining the threat of a note-taker strike would be better in the subsequent discussion. |
| 19:03 | <littledan> | I also think Michael would respond negatively to any characterization of all note-takers saying one thing or another, since he takes notes sometimes, as he said in that discussion |
| 20:25 | <Michael Ficarra> | I used to take notes for most meetings, but I haven't done any note taking in the last year or so (probably longer) because it was taking away from my ability to participate |
| 20:26 | <Michael Ficarra> | of course, that just shifted that burden on to other delegate volunteers, so I would prefer a stenographer |
| 20:28 | <bakkot> | suspect that was re: the other michael |
| 20:28 | <Michael Ficarra> | woops |
| 20:28 | <Michael Ficarra> | I was like "please, characterise me!" |
| 20:29 | <bakkot> | also: reminder that there's TWO DAYS LEFT to get stuff on the agenda for this coming meeting |
| 20:31 | <bakkot> | it currently has approximately zero things |
| 20:35 | <ptomato> | a Temporal item is upcoming, as usual |
| 22:21 | <ljharb> | littledan: Were there any delegates that did NOT provide strong support? it seemed pretty unanimous to me |
| 22:21 | <ljharb> | oh ok later you said unanimous, it's just the "In plenary" part that was "many"? |
| 23:43 | <littledan> | Not everyone who attended plenary voted in the end |
| 23:43 | <littledan> | And there were two weak support votes |
| 23:44 | <littledan> | Haha yes I was talking about msaboff |
| 23:44 | <littledan> | Anyway, noted, I will characterize you in discussion if it comes up |
