1 Most of our trustees are based in the us, there's only a few who aren't,
2 and if we set the meetings to once a month, or every two months, I don't
3 think it will be that expensive. While irc is nice in a lot of cases,
4 even smaller groups like the free standards accessibility group hold
5 regular phone conferences. Since we can't exactly go across the street
6 and have a face to face meeting, I think that something like a phone
7 conference would help build a better working relationship.
