Novell will gladly sponsor one of the SIGlet teleconferences in November 
and possibly another in early 1994. November 8-12 works much better for 
me due to prior commitments.

Regards Paul Gacek
Novell

ACTION ITEMS:

1.	Is this even a good idea?

Option 1:  _______
	I'm not interested in "attending" tele/videoconferences 
	between AIWs.  Handle all inter-AIW work on the network.

Option 2:  _______
	I like the idea but think we should have only one 
	teleconference, half-way in between, in early January.

Option 3:  __x_____  
	I like the idea of three opportunities to come together, 
	resolve roadblocks, and meet interim milestones.

2.	Host volunteers.  This is very important.  If we have no host,
	we have no teleconference.

Option 1: ________
	My company and I are willing to sponsor the first 
	teleconference for all four SIGlets and pick up the 
	port charges (est. $2,000)

Option 2: __x_____
	My company and I are willing to sponsor one SIGlet
	for the first teleconference and pick up the port charges 
	(est. $500).  SIGlet name:  __Flow Control________________________

Option 3: _______
	My company and I are willing to manage the first 
	teleconference with AT&T for all four SIGlets, but we 
	require payment of $20 per SIGlet from each attendee 
	company in advance.

3.	November Teleconference format -- week of November 1-5

*******  NOTE: I PREFER NOVEMBER 8-12 *******

Option 1:   _______
	I prefer marathon four-hour session in one day, 
	with an hour for each SIGlet.

Option 2:   _______ 
	I prefer two two-hour sessions (an hour for each SIGlet) 
	on two different days during the week.

Option 3:  ___x____
	I prefer four one-hour sessions on four different days
	during the week.

TELECONFERENCE SCHEDULE
I proposed we schedule a teleconference for at least our four currently-
active SIGlets during the week of November 1-5.  This would be one-
fourth of the way to the next AIW. 

I see three options:

Option 1:   a marathon four-hour session in one day, 
	with an hour for each SIGlet
Option 2:   two two-hour sessions (an hour for each SIGlet) 
	on two different days
Option 3:  four one-hour sessions on four different days

ACTION ITEMS:

* I don't think that teleconferencing works for more than one hour per
day in my experiences with them, and they must be well organized with
a clear goal and a moderator playing ring master.  My job as editor I think
can be best handled by formal Internet submissions from the groups
via the coordinators mailing list.  If needed I will participate in
whatever the rest of the group decides as far as teleconferences.  Attending
a videoconference would be difficult in that all the sites mentioned so
far are not near Southern California.
