Keeping the analogy, that's like "concert by musicians". How many readers of this list would go to an event advertised like that? > What people seem to be asking for *is* the set list. I don't know what "people" but what I am asking for is to know what types of music will be played, not the final set list. So, for December 2006, it could have said: Meeting business to include: - Officer reports - debian trademark in Spain - opensource domains - outstanding requests for comment from the debian project leader Current agenda at http://www.spi-inc.org/secretary/agenda/2006/2006-12-19.html > Oh, and please don't CC: me.

I don't think I've ever argued that the agenda shouldn't get edited right up until the meeting. Sorry if anything gave that impression. Let me say it clearly: adding items to the agenda is OK by me as long as it is not used to conceal things needlessly. However, I think it should be noted what was on the agenda at time of announcement and what are later additions, to help the board decide whether to defer something. "Joshua D.

Maybe it's OK, if there is sufficient time for intermittently-connected members to return and grab the URL. It would be better to include details of the business in the notice, like stated in the by-laws. Hope that explains, -- MJ Ray - see/vidu http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html Somerset, England.
