I've prepared a scheduling guide. <A href="ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/misc/DCRecovery.pdf">ftp://ftp.pwg.org/pub/pwg/general/misc/DCRecovery.pdf</A> 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.
