    I also favor not rescheduling every meeting. For one I really don't see
    why we should change Provo in December. And I'd rather try to squeeze a
    fourth meeting, because I think long phone conference calls are far less
    efficient than face to face meetings.

    Regarding Washington DC or New York, I'm afraid the risks will remain
    for more than the next few months... and business will still take place
    there. So unless some people don't want to go there any more at all, I
    don't think rescheduling New York somewhere else is necessary.

    Having come back from Europe last week-end, I haven't seen any special
    change at airports. (Security is much stronger since September 11
    anyway)

    And Harry thanks for taking care of these issues and trying to make
    everybody happy.

    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@pwg.org NOT pwg-announce!
