Leo,
    (01)

I (think) I agree with Matthew: Caveat - I haven't looked
at the latest version.
    (02)

If the goal of the communique is to summarize and synthesize 
all of the (historical) work that's been done (and act as a
hook), then the organization based on the various tracks 
shouldn't be important unless there's a logical reason/dependency 
for it.

It may make more sense. Thanks, Matthew. What do others think?

Dear Leo,
    (013)

I notice that you have retained the structure of the Work Tracks for the 
Summit. I wonder if it might be better to divide it by section of the 
communiqué, which has been restructured from the tracks, with the track 
champions presenting around a section of the communiqué, perhaps with 
additional background information. This might help to focus discussion, 
rather than taking a historical approach of where it all came from.
    (014)

What do others think (especially track champions)?
    (015)

agenda

All,
    (020)

Please see the following near-final draft agenda for the Ontology Summit 
2011 Symposium.
    (021)

Also, please note that the following rule (the “Fabian Rule” as we are 
calling it from last year, named for our colleague and co-organizer Fabian 
Neuhaus) will be in effect during the Symposium for discussion on the 
Communique. This will help us avoid disruptions, argumentation over 
trifles, and improve the quality of our discourse. 
    (022)

1)      A final draft of the Communique will be released to the membership 
next week, no later than Friday, April 15, 2011 (and probably earlier).
2)      Any participant of the Ontology Summit can submit by email change 
requests or raise questions for debate at the workshop until the deadline 
of Saturday evening, 6 pm EDT, April 16, 2011. This is prior to the 
Ontology Summit Symposium.
3)      After the deadline, a new change request/question can be only 
raised if it is supported by at least 3 participants of the Summit. 
4)      Leo and  Ram’s addendum: We will strictly enforce a time limit on 
the discussion per issue. 
    (023)

As previous Ontology Summit old-timers will recall, much of our time was 
spent wordsmithing. Unfortunately (or fortunately), we don’t have time for 
that. Having an overview of the open issues prior to the Ontology Summit 
Symposium allows the organizers to plan/adjust the agenda  and the 
discussion moderators to ensure that all  issues are addressed. Please 
note that the first day of the Symposium is devoted to the Track 
champions’ reports and the Communiqué  discussion. The Communiqué will be 
final at the end of the first day. 
    (024)

Thanks and we look forward to your participation,
Ram and Leo
