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

I'm glad to see the initiative but in my opinion it's always somewhat easier to talk or present on the phone rather than to commit something to the written page. The community has been crying out for short, written policy and background briefings for years. These very short papers should be written for the very large non-technical community of Internet users. I suggest that the written one to two-page background papers come online FIRST. In five or six languages. Then a follow-up telephone (or Skype, or?) conference is scheduled; the community can vote online (again in a multilingual vote) on which topics are of most interest. The vote can close a week (or x) before the event.

Just my opinion.
