[At-Large] Scheduling regular telephonic policy briefings on Policy for the At-Large Community

[Izumi AIZU]

Personally, I am not a big fan of conference call, in part English phone
conversation is very energy consuming to concentrate, even for me
who is relatively OK with working with English. It is VERY tiring after
20 minutes or 30. BUT, if some folks want, I will not object at all,
provided taking othe excellent suggestions, too.

1) I like brief document - 1 or 2 pager, with links etc to details.
 posted on web with RSS feed.
2) tanscriptions, and links to audio archive

AND, instead of making a standing attempt, it may be wise to test
first for a few times, evaluate and improve the implementation step
by step. This way, we can be pragmatic to see the effect and imrpove
it to serve the audience, without making too much hypotherical argument
before hand. I menn let's test it and see how it goes.
