    I'll certainly listen to what others think, but I have to confess that
    on such prior instances I was already on the edge of requesting that
    time not be spent in such a way. Please recall that calls, other than
    mails, take everybody's time, and exactly at the same time. Therefore
    my personal opinion is that topics on calls should be limited to items
    which cannot be resolved by other means, or which are certain to need
    (almost) everybody's attention right away.
    
I disagree with you on this one. 

So yes, it is true that a call costs everyone time. But it's a fixed cost once 
per month
*  Something experimental could be posted on the list and it may take everyone 
more time to read and respond than a 5 minute early discussion on the call
* Also, of course everyone has the option to drop out or not attend a call 
based on the agenda
* If we had more urgent stuff to discuss all the time and we would have to 
displace urgent discussions to cover discussions which can wait, I may agree 
with you, but this is not currently the case

I will look at the agenda though and re-structure it in such a way that this is 
clear

IMPORTANT: I had a few additions to the agenda, but do not know WHO added 
these. I believe one was Juergen. Who added the items related to MA Youngs 
patches? And if you add series to discuss can you please add URLs or message IDs

Regards
Lars
