As Brad's manager, I think it's fine to invite Brad to a meeting if you
believe that the mailing list won't work for the conversation you'd like to
have. However, I object to putting the responsibility for initiating a
video conversation on him. As Brian Wolff mentioned earlier in the font
thread, a public mailing list is a perfectly fine place to bring this sort
of thing up, since sooner or later, this issue would have found its way to
this mailing list anyway.
For what it's worth, I think I can represent Brad's viewpoint pretty well,
so if anyone wants to discuss this with me in the office, I'm happy to
oblige.
