6. Any Other Business: 

7. Schedule Next Meeting & Adjourn: 

* since we were not able to get close to a full organizing committee meeting together, most of the agenda is now deferred to the next call, which is now agreed to be a 1-hour call starting at Tue 30-Jan-2007 8:00am PST / 11:00am EST / 5:00pm CET. 
** we will schedule this "first" call for 1-hour, and hope that subsequent sync-up calls will only last 30 minutes each week (with most of our transactions done via the [ontology-summit-org] e-mail list. 

* Next Meeting: 
** choice of regular weekly sync-up call time slot - 
*** Nicola's preference Monday through Thursday 1:30~2:30pm EST / 10:30~11:30am PST / 7:30~8:30pm CET -- Thursdays are out because of a conflict with regularly scheduled Ontolog events 
** Deborah's suggested: Mon, Tue or Wednesdays,  11:30am~12:30pm EST / 8:30~9:30am PST / 5:30~6:30pm CET; sometimes i could make 8am PST / 11am EST / 5pm CET on friday 
** Steve: The one day I can't meet is Wednesdays after 1:30pm EST / 10:30am PST / 7:30pm CET 
** Ivan: Tuesday evening would be *ideal* for me at those times. Mondays and Wednesdays are not
possible *at all* at those times. 
** Peter: on Tuesdays, I can only be available after 12:30am EST / 9:30am PST / 6:30pm CET; and will probably have to miss a few meeting (like once a month). Mon, Wed & Fridays work better for me. 

* Call adjourned at: 8:49am PST / 11:49am EST
