Re: [cmis] Year-End Meeting Dates

[Al Brown <albertcbrown@us.ibm.com>]

Sounds good. This sounds like there should be the following questions:

1. Which date is better November 24th or Dec 1st?
2. Which date is better Dec 22nd or Jan 5th?
3. For future planning where are you located? US, EMEA, China, India?

Are those choices for #3 sufficiently granular or should we expand them further?

Subject:	[cmis] Year-End Meeting Dates

---

For narrowing down the options in the scheduling of calls, I have the following suggestions:

1. With regard to the year-end holidays, December 29 should not be considered for a meeting in any case.  There is a high-level of vacation and holiday travel in this period, and children are out of school in the US (and Canada?) in this period.

This leaves the question of whether 
    December 22 is unacceptable because of member plans.
    January 5 is unacceptable because of member plans.
(I suppose one could ask which of these is least unacceptable, but that is probably cutting it too fine for an initial survey/ballot.)

There is perhaps useful consideration of the number of coordination calls desired prior to the January Face-to-Face meeting days also.  January 26 is a Monday.

2.  With regard to the US Thanksgiving observance, there are two dates of concern once again, to determine for how many
    November 24 is unacceptable
    December 1 is unacceptable

3.  For future planning, it would be useful to know where members are located, so that holiday locations in other locations are honored as appropriate.  (On the ODF TC, there is a significant participation from Europe and China, and we respect national holidays wherever possible.)  This will be more significant with regard to the choice of call times, actually.
