[Standards] Fwd: Re: short report about CLARIN committee activities

[Piotr Banski]

Dear All,

I would like to invite you to edit the document that I have started at

  https://trac.clarin.eu/wiki/CSC%3A%20Monthly%20reports

intended to provide monthly reports to the BoD on the Committee's 
activity. This is in response to a somewhat urgent request for this that 
I received earlier today (see below).

Let me stress that I welcome the monthly reporting interval -- we all 
know how the everyday "little tasks" can make us push aside work such as 
this, just because we feel we can postpone it, given that the yearly 
conference is still so distant in the hazy future. I hope to learn some 
further details about what is formally expected of us and when in the 
month the deadline is set, so that we can hopefully use the reporting 
document linked above for jotting down our notes that I will gladly 
streamline before the reporting day. I can also try to filter this 
information out from the e-mail traffic on this list -- as long as it's 
not too heavy...... ;-)

Best regards,

   Piotr

Dear Dieter,

I am going to put some notes into the CLARIN wiki[1] and possibly add to
them in the course of tomorrow, if I can. I am currently at a workshop,
was busy until the evening today, and travelling back to Mannheim
tomorrow after half a day of workshop work, so I cannot guarantee the
completeness or full accuracy of these remarks by Thursday, the more so
that they will be provided from my perspective alone (while I have
announced the upcoming reporting to the Committee, it seemed to me back
then that the reporting was meant to be a yearly event[2], so I haven't
requested any such information from the Members). I will try to edit the
googledoc you mentioned, but I can't guarantee that so please use the
link in case I don't.

I also regret that neither Aleksei nor I are able to benefit from the
testing that you have mentioned, because the googledoc is empty, so we
have no guidelines to follow...

I would also greatly appreciate not being given a two-day notice (vide
my current situation described above) -- let us please also treat this
as an element of the streamlining of the reporting process.

[2]: My question on further details of the reporting as well as my
request for being able to view and to share the minutes of the meeting
where the decision was made remained unanswered.

Let me stress that I quite like the monthly interval for the reporting
process -- I think it may be stimulating to the entire Committee. But we
all need a bit of time in advance for such tasks. :-)

Best regards,

   Piotr
