I'd hoped to make it clear in my announcement that people dropped out of
the D.C. meeting because their companies adopted a restrictive travel
policy based on the U.S. high terrorist alert. Most of the individuals who
were forced to drop actually lobbied within for permission to travel.
Sorry if, somehow, I hadn't made this clear.
Thanks for adding the Microsoft Print/Imaging Conf, Bill. I'll add this to
the table. Now the question is should we avoid this week or does this
actually attract us to Seattle (ex. we could ask for a raise of hands
regarding overlap to see if there is a PWG topic that does not conflict)

Harry,
I agree with Lee. I see no reason to kill the Vancouver meeting. Early
May seems a good rescheduling for the April meeting (although I do not
fully understand on what grounds people dropped out of the April meeting.)
Also, unless it has been changed, I understand that there is a Microsoft
Printing and Imaging Conference in Redmond on June 5-6.

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
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@pwg.org NOT pwg-announce!
