I think Tuesday night was chosen because there are, likewise, some who =
attend
P1394 who don't stay for Wednesday-Friday so they might be impacted by =
moving
the evening session to a later day. Although I don't object to moving t=
he
sessions to Wednesday or Thursday evenings, 7pm Tuesday has worked out =
quite
well for me. I find, with mobile computing, there is less reason to sta=
y in the
office and take a late flight. I try to arrive around 5pm which usually=
leaves
enough time to check in prior to the 7pm meeting. It's true, if the mee=
ting is
in a location where flights are limited or there is a long ride from th=
e
airport... this becomes more difficult.

One might also ask if P1394 continues to need 2 days? It's been a long
tradition. Is this still necessary? Of course, if we spread other meeti=
ngs
across more days it means longer weeks for those attending.

Personally, I prefer to tuck a meeting in at 7pm the night of my arriva=
l than
have to arrive an entire day earlier but, I have to admit... evening at=
tendance
has been light.

Subject: PWG> MIBs Meeting Schedule

I propose that the evening MIBs meetings be either Wednesday or Thursda=
y
evening, rather than Tuesday. Most of the people attending this meetin=
g
do not attend the P1394 meetings. In many cases such as the Savannah
meeting, it is difficult to arrive early enough to be at the start of t=
he
meeting. (I will be late to the UPD meeting which replaces the MIBs
meeting in Savannah.)

Rather than start the meeting later than 7:00, Wednesday would be much
more convenient. Anyone object to Wednesday evening in Tucson?
