Re: [STDS-802-16] Revised Tgm agenda for Hawaii



Nader,

It's really unfortunate that the first draft TGm agenda incorrectly listed the WG Closing Plenary schedule.

I need to stick to the WG meeting schedule established when Session #63.5 was first announced in March. The meeting page:
http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg635
says:

Meeting Schedule 
NOTE: The session will begin Monday at 1 pm and close on Thursday evening by 11 pm.

The draft meeting schedule <http://dot16.org/cal/week.php?getdate=20090921> has evolved over time, and additional details have been added. However, the Opening Plenary and Closing Plenary were scheduled there many months ago.

Dear Brian
 
Many thanks for the revised agenda which I am certain will help speed up our progress and get more work done during the upcoming session in Kona.
 
However, I would like to register my objection to the change in the agenda at this late stage (less than 1 week from the start of the session).
 
We have made our flights arrangement to leave Kona on Thursday evening based on the original agenda which shows that the WG closing plenary meeting will be adjourned at 15:00 as per the following excerpt from the original agenda:
Thurs: 1:00 PM – 3:00 PM 
•     WG Closing Plenary
 
Yesterday you circulated a revised agenda which shows a the WG closing plenary to take place in the evening as per the following excerpt:
 
Thurs: 7:00 PM – 10:00 PM 
•     WG Closing Plenary
 
Since our flights tickets are fixed, it will not be possible to change the flights to next day specially to those colleagues who are flying from outside the US. In addition, the hotel booking is only arranged until Thursday 24th September according to the original agenda.
 
I therefore would request to revise the agenda shown in document “80216m-09_0039r1”  to maintain the original WG closing Plenary time as detailed in “80216m-09_0039”.
 
Kindest Regards

A revised agenda for the Hawaii TGm meeting has been posted:
 
The primary difference is that we have ended up with three rooms so we
can conduct more parallel sessions.  It provides the DGs with a LOT of
time for harmonization and comment resolution.
