Hello all, as per our earlier discussion, I think we can settle on Skype for now as a synchronous communication method. We'll use SkypeOut for calling in folks who have connectivity issues. I do believe that a first meeting will be very useful as an ice-breaker, and as a way to actually determine some first action points that all of us can work on (e.g. "I'm happy to revamp the Research pages on Meta", "I will draft a policy recommendation for subject recruitment", "I will work on cataloging research projects"). I'm fully aware that not everyone will be able to attend, but I'd still like us to do this as one of the next steps if at all possible. So, I've taken a first crack at a meeting planner page, here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research_Committee/Meeting_Planner Feel free to change the process, but if this format works for you, please do indicate whether you can / can not attend during the proposed times, and propose new times if necessary. Thanks :-) Erik -- Erik Möller Deputy Director, Wikimedia Foundation Support Free Knowledge: http://wikimediafoundation.org/wiki/Donate

Hi, per the poll page, I'm holding the following meeting time: Saturday, September 18, 5 PM UTC. I'll send another reminder later this week. Right now: 1) If there's someone experienced with Skype calls with large numbers of participants, I'd appreciate it if they could play the volunteer host. Anyone? 2) If there's someone who can easily produce an audio recording, I think that would be great in the spirit of transparency of our work. Anyone? Thanks!
