John,
For myself, I received this email two days after booking my
flight to arrive Monday morning in SFO and having booked the meeting
hotel beginning from Monday night.
The information about this meeting session was not
presented during the previous meeting in Geneva, and was not distributed until
we had the information that the meeting hotel is now sold out, so even if I were
to spend the money to change my flight, it is not certain that I could add
Sunday night to my hotel booking.
There is a lot to do, so I certainly do not object to
trying to use the 90 minute slot for informal discussions to try to figure out
how to make progress. But I do have an objection to calling it an interim
meeting of HSSG. I would request that you refrain from conducting any motions or
straw polls as a part of this session so as not to exclude those who have
already booked their travel from the decision process.
Regards,
Steve
All,
The HSSG will be
having an interim meeting adjacent to and co-located with the IEEE 802 plenary
meeting in July. (Plenary information may be found at http://ieee802.facetoface-events.com/sessions/44/files/announcement.pdf).
We will be getting together
Monday, July 16, 2007 from 9 to 10:30am prior to the July IEEE 802 opening
plenary. The agenda for the meeting will be to discuss the HSSG goals
for the Plenary week HSSG meeting. At this time I have been informed that the
meeting room will be Pacific Concourse JK, but it would be advisable to double
check.
Please make your travel
arrangements accordingly.
Best
Regards,
John
