Considerations for a face-to-face meeting

[David Keaton <dmk@dmk.com>]

     At today's teleconference, we discussed the possibility of having 
a face-to-face meeting this coming January, because the one we had a 
year earlier yielded excellent progress.  Please consider whether you 
would be willing to host such a meeting.  Here are some considerations 
to keep in mind.

Approximate dates:  January 23-24

1.  The host will not be responsible for travel expenses 
(transportation, lodging, meals) of the attendees.

2.  The host will supply the meeting room.  We currently have 13 voting 
members.  Just in case, the meeting room should be capable of holding at 
least 15 people.

3.  The host will make sure the attendees have easy access to water, 
coffee, and the Internet during the meeting.  Any catering is welcome 
but not expected.

4.  If the host would like to make reservations for a social event on 
the first night, the cost of the event would be the responsibility of 
each person who attends.

5.  The security considerations for access to the meeting room must not 
make it difficult for any of the members to attend (e.g. members from 
another country).

6.  The host will supply the following information so that members can 
make travel arrangements:

*  The location of the meeting, with a list of a few nearby hotels.

*  Transportation directions from the nearest airport.

*  The contact person's name, telephone number, and e-mail address.

     Please send e-mail to the SARIF mailing list if you would like to 
offer to host, or please contact me if you have any questions.
