I would like to recommend the following list of
logical topic groupings for organizing the contributions:
Contributions could be assigned to any major topic
or subtopic, but should be assigned only once and only to the topic area of
major focus for the contribution.
I welcome feedback on this list, additions,
modification recommendations, or alternate approaches.
Thanks,

Subject: [STDS-802-16-MOBILE] 120 contributions to 16e for
Session#33 Something like 120 contributions have been uploaded
to 16e for consideration at Sessions#33. We have only through
July 2nd to provide reply commentary on these contributions, plus all other
comments to the D3 draft. I think we need to organize immediately, or
there is no way that we are going to get this done and be ready to make it
through this volume of contributions at Portland.
The nightmare scenario is having to wade through
all of these individual contribution presentations, discussion, potential
modification, at the meeting itself. Based on this volume, we will have no
choice but to bull our way through, omit discussion and potential modification,
and just vote. Because of the volume of material it is likely that members
will not have adequately reviewed all material to make an informed vote at that
time without discussion, which will not be possible. So good contributions
will be voted down because of the volume of work.
In order to avoid that outcome, I think we need to
organize material into common topicality that volunteers can address both
through the list and in reply commentary. This will give contributors the
benefit of some focused evaluation and provide members relief from having to
review all contributions. To facilitate establishing topical focus, I
would encourage contributors to provide a one or two paragraph overview/summary
of their contribution to the list.
Any thoughts on this proposal?
