First of all, thanks to Harry for putting up with all this...you probably
had other things you wanted to do this week.

That being said, it seems the "raging debate" genie is out of the bottle.

I am disappointed we had to cancel DC, but agree it was necessary.  It
would be interesting, as Bill suggests, to know whether no-travel policies
are blanket or based on destination.

For various philosophical reasons, I would be disappointed if we
re-scheduled away from NYC.  In addition, it is one of my favorite places
to go.

I guess the only reason for a quick discussion on Provo is because of
ticket change rules.  If someone can push back on AA and get them to relax
their policy, then we should be able to leave the schedule as it was, for
now, and discuss proposed changes with less haste.

As for this spring, under the circumstances I think a May meeting would be
hard to pull off.  The argument that we should keep five meetings is a good
one, but I think we may have to compromise this time.

I favor a meeting in June, and any of those weeks looks good to me.
Speaking just for me personally, I would keep it in Vancouver, but
obviously not if that would hurt attendance.

All that being said, I will support and thank Harry for whatever action he
deems best.

  E.

Why not leave December as Provo and have people schedule for that rather
than move everything around?  That WAS the plan.

We can try (to nail the next meeting quickly). This is why I posted the
scheduling guide. For those who need to reschedule flights to avoid
penalty... my suggestion is to book into Provo in October. I don't believe
rescheduling the entire year is feasible.

If we churn on this (which it looks like we are) ... some people will be
hosed.

schedule



Since there are time constraints for the near term, can we just get the
very next F2F meeting scheduled
ASAP and look at further re-arrangements at that F2F...????

For me...using keywords instead of numbers.......:)

June 2-6    (preferable)
June 16-20  (acceptable)

Location options (no preference)... for either week.

Harry,

What's the fundamental goal here?  To revisit the schedule for all future
meetings in the year, or just up to (but not including) October?

Is there any reason not to try to "squeeze in" four [newly scheduled]
meetings into the remainder of the year?  [For example, June 2-6, August
4-9, October 6-10 (why not still hold this in New York?), and December 1-5
seem reasonable goals for future meetings.  Eight week separation on
average, but still allowing four face-to-face meetings for the rest of the
year.

Given that this organization has already cut down this year's schedule of
meetings to only five, I would think that we should avoid reducing it to
four if we can.

Any thoughts?

To recover from cancelation of D.C. I've prepared a scheduling guide.
<ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/misc/DCRecovery.pdf>
ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/misc/DCRecovery.pdf

As you can see, two weeks in June appear to be the best alternatives.
Please identify any conflicts / alignments I have missed. We need to
settle
on the next meeting date quickly so people can reschedule their canceled
flights. People flying AA seem to have the shortest amount of time and we
may not be able to reschedule within their 2 day deadline! In this case I
recommend these people reschedule for the Provo meeting in October.

PLEASE HOLD DISCUSSION OF THIS TOPIC ON pwg at pwg.org NOT pwg-announce!
