How about trying a web based tool supported by telephone instead of face-to-face. By way of example, something like Jotspot Live http://www.jotlive.com/? If Council was using something like this now, we remote attendees would be able to see what is being drafted. Moreover, the job of real time drafting would be more efficient as it could be shared.

Is there any way to arrange for the face to face drafting session to be done at an interim time between Vancouver and Wellington in order to expedite the work and try to meet the by-laws' required timing? In the spirit of self disclosure, I admit I have a conflict the week before Wellington, but will opt to skip the IETF meeting being held that week if necessary. a.
