[tei-council] teleconference logistics

[Dot Porter]

Hi all,

If we change the time to 18:00 UTC I will need to slip out right at
the one hour mark. That is something to consider when putting together
the agenda (i.e., front-load the image+text encoding and physical
bibliography stuff if possible).

Thanks,
Dot
