Lucas, Thanks for bringing this up (both in Paris and here). I'm strongly
in favor of these changes as well. We discussed this during the meeting
today [1], to which I offer the following summary:

- move the status reporting to the etherpad [2]
-- take one (1) minute at the start of the meeting for folks to look at the
'pad and raise any concerns. discuss concerns but cap at ten (10) minutes
-- at the end of the meeting, an email will be sent out containing the
status report from the 'pad, plus discussion notes (if needed)
- meeting agenda to be frozen two (2) days before the meeting. This also
gives time for others to review/research the topic ahead of time. Anyone
who has something on the planned agenda should prepare some notes to
introduce the topic (or type fast enough that we don't notice that you
didn't prepare) so we aren't all waiting on IRC.

I'll update the meeting wiki accordingly.

-Deva
