Re: [wtp-pmc] Request for time at PMC meeting to introduce the WTP usabi

David,

IMHO, "Getting our blessing"
means that 1) we know about the project, 2) think it's a good idea, 3)
will encourage people to help, 4) will promote it on our Web site, 5) etc..

The point is that we want potential
volunteers to understand that this project is being done with our knowledge
and agreement and that we will listen to the findings and consider the
recommendations for improvement. Otherwise, there is little motivation
for people to help. Why help if there is no direct line back into WTP development?

Yes, I've seen Leah's notes on the newsgroups, and would love to hear more
about it ... but will ask what "get our blessing" means. I don't
think we (as a PMC)  be in any position to give official endorsement
or official approval (at least not with a 5-10 intro) and would not see
why that would be needed. Any reason why this has surfaced now, at this
time, instead of several months ago when she began to solicit participants?

But, yes, sounds great and all experimental psychologist and cognitive
scientists have my personal blessing :)

Subject	[wtp-pmc] Request for time at PMC meeting to introduce the WTP        usability study

Leah Findlater, a University of British Columbia PhD student, is about
to start a usability study based on WTP. I'd like to request 5-10 minutes
at this coming Tuesday's (Feb. 14) PMC meeting to introduce Leah and let
her give the PMC a short overview of the study, its goals, and its requirements
in order to educate the PMC on what she's going to be up to and get your
'blessing'. 

If I don't hear any objections for this coming week I'll invite Leah to
join us at 10am EST. 

Thanks, 

Lawrence Mandel
