I have to respectfully disagree. It takes a lot of work to coordinate
these types of meetings, especially roundtables with lots of busy
people. While in an ideal world, I would aim for somewhat longer
notice--with reminders, since it's easy to forget if notice is given too
far in advance and you don't immediately enter it on your calagenda--I
would certainly not call this "poorly promulgated." In fact, with all
of the crossposting and reminders, I felt pretty "beaten over the head"
regarding this meeting. (That's not a bad thing, mind you.)
