OK, but the fact that our processes are different doesn't necessarily mean moving to online tools is a bad idea, right? Off the top of my head, I can see a couple of positives: - Online tools would allow folks who are participating remotely to indicate 'presence' at a working group meeting. - Simplify the administrative burden of collecting and keeping the blue sheets - Allow for easier analysis of working group attendance And negatives: - Allow for easier analysis of working group attendance - Requires somebody to develop/maintain the tools - Requires everyone have some device (laptop, tablet, smartphone, etc) that allows them to access the online tools (how does IEEE get around this?) - Might not meet the requirements (e.g., legal) the blue sheet currently fill I'm on the fence...
