Re: [OBO-Edit Working Group] New OEWG meeting time - Thursday 8.30am PDT

[Karen C. <kc...@ge...>]

Should we also consider whether someone is the sole representative of 
their group or not? I am the only person from SGD attending, while you are 
not the only member of the GO editorial group who attends.

If we're going to alternate between two times, perhaps we could consider 
8:30 on Thursday and 9:30 on some other day, so as to avoid completely 
eliminating an entire group from being representated at the meeting.
