[iaoa-education] IAOA Education Committee Meeting on Wed 2016.10.12: (pre-)announcement / scheduling decision

[Frank Loebe]

Dear all,

thanks much for the feedback provided so far. In summary, including an 
offline message from Maria, I perceive the status as follows:

* Amanda (and myself) can join at both times considered
* for Maria, variant B would be substantially better and helpful
   (to avoid the need to leave the meeting early)
* Todd would prefer variant A, but he could live with B if necessary
* Sandra cannot join at either time on Nov 02


Hence I propose that we meet according to variant B:

   --> Meeting n.14                 Wed, Nov 02, 2016
       07:00 PDT  / 10:00 EDT / 14:00 GMT / 15:00 CET
       12:00 BRST / 16:00 SAST              (cf. [B])

   Chat :  http://webconf.soaphub.org/conf/room/iaoa_edu_20161102


Given the short time left, I'll presume this option now, unless anyone 
raises serious concerns or issues for reconsideration.

I'm sorry not to include a proper agenda proposal so far, but I need to 
quit for today (Tue, Nov 01). I myself expect a rather short agenda and 
would mainly see (1) a brief update on considerations w.r.t. ISAO 2018 
and possibly (2) further content extension in the wiki as items for the 
general meeting. It'll remain to be seen whether we append a specialized 
meeting focusing on the textbook discussion (on scope, still, I guess), 
after the general part is done.

Thanks again and best regards,
Frank
