Title: RE: [xacml] Vote for XACML F2F Date, Location, and Duration...

Hi all,

It's Monday morning, the votes are in, and here are the results...

Firstly, we can trim down the choices somewhat:
 - nobody seems to want to meet in San Francisco on the Saturday morning (it received no votes, although Bill indicated that it would be as acceptable to him as any of the other 2.5-day options), so the SF slot is W(pm)TF

 - those voting for Milan either indicated no preference in days or chose (b) (the only exception was Simon, who chose (a), but I'm assuming he would not be opposed to (b)), so the Milan slot is MTW(am)

Actual votes:
 - Milan:  Anne, Ernesto, Michiharu, Pierangela, Bill, Don, Polar, Simon  (8)
 - SF:  Anne, Ken, Michiharu, Bill  (4)

Extra information:
 - I just spoke with Hal on the phone and he indicated that he could probably attend either location, though he had a slight preference for California (he was on vacation all last week and so was not able to cast a vote in time)

 - Tim indicated to me that Entrust would send one person to Milan but could conceivably send two to SF
 - I assume that Don, Polar, and Simon (who all voted for Milan) could also go to SF if the meeting was there

Totals:
 - with the extra information above, we have the following numbers
    - Milan:  Anne, Ernesto, Michiharu, Pierangela, Bill, Don, Polar, Simon, [Hal, 1-from-Entrust]  (total = 10)
    - SF:  Anne, Ken, Michiharu, Bill, [Hal, Don, Polar, Simon, Carlisle, Tim]  (total = 10)

Conclusion:
 - potentially 10 people at either location, which would be quorum
 - actual votes cast favoured Milan, and I did say that the most votes would win
 - therefore, Milan is the winner!

Next F2F date, location, and duration:
 - {Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday morning}, April 22-24, 2002, University of Milan, Italy.

Thanks to everyone for your participation!

Carlisle.

P.S., If anyone has serious objections my reasoning above, get them out now because those wanting 21-day advance bookings for cheaper fares will probably need to book today...

Hi all,

Apologies for not getting this out earlier.  I had agreed to send this after our TC concall last Thursday, but then was tied up the rest of that day and was traveling all day Friday.

Subject:        [xacml] next f2f

        is there a timeline and/or mechanism for determining when and where the
next f2f will occur? are we waiting for the next all-hands meeting?
voting via e-mail?

 
Yes, I'm calling for an e-mail vote which will close first thing Monday morning (April 1st).  That is, I'll count whatever's in my in-box when I get into work on Monday morning.  Votes should be sent to the list as a response to this message.

There are a couple of things on which to vote.

1) Date and Location.  The choices are as follows (pick one):
       a) Mon.-Tue., April 22-23 in Milan, Italy (hosted by Pierangela and Ernesto at U. Milan)
       b) Thu.-Fri., April 25-26 in San Francisco, USA (hosted by Ken Yagen at CrossLogix)
       c) either choice is acceptable
       d) I cannot attend either choice

2) Duration.  There has been a proposal to add an extra half day to the meeting.  The choices are as follows (pick one):

       a) MILAN:  Mon. afternoon, Tue. full day, Wed. full day
       b) MILAN:  Mon. full day, Tue. full day, Wed morning
       c) SF:  Wed. afternoon, Thu. full day, Fri. full day
       d) SF:  Thu. full day, Fri. full day, Sat. morning
       e) forget about the extra half day; two full days is enough

The largest number of votes on each item wins.

Our face-to-face meetings have been well-attended and very productive so far; hopefully, we can continue this tradition.

Carlisle.
