Scribe list

The person at the top of the list will scribe for the next teleconference. If top person is not able to scribe, the second will scribe and name #1 remains at the top for next time. Once you have scribed, move your name to the bottom of the list.

Note: Chairs and AG WG Chair (liaison) are exempt from scribing.
