    Another one to add to the list (not sure if this is a conflict or alignment)
    - CIP4/JDF May 5-9 in San Jose (hosted by Adobe). Note that this is
    potentially in driving range (though a pretty good haul) for many HP people,
    and I'm assuming Adobe folks could travel to San Jose ...

    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>
    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!
