everyone,<br><br>In Berlin there was a forum session on dealing with
timezones and language barriers. There were a couple related ideas that
came out of that session. In particular that having meetings only when
there is a strong agenda helps people avoid staying up all night for
nothing and that listing an agenda ahead of time can help non english
speakers better prepare for the meeting.<br></div></div>
</blockquote>
This is a GREAT idea. Not just for English speakers, but for everyone.
I'm a big fan of not having meetings just to fill time.<br>

<div><br>Both ideas seem sound to me and I think we should try to
implement them for the Infra team. I propose that we require agenda
updates 24 hours prior to the meeting start time and if there are no
agenda updates we cancel the meeting. Curious to hear if others think
this will be helpful and if 24 hours is enough lead time to be helpful.<br></div>

Love the 24 hour lead time. Looking forward to seeing how this works and
hope it can be adopted across other projects. <br>

<div><br>We'll have our meeting this Tuesday (with this item on the
agenda), but it would probably also be good to use the mailing list for
feedback as I think that gives us a broader set of potential feedback.<br></div>

Thanks for taking the lead on this Clark! Nice work :)<br>
