Kelvin,

I think the TC agreed to the following:

At various times during the discussion, both before and after the vote, 
we seem to have been replacing the
phrase "mid-June" with the 2nd or 3rd week of June. As noted, JavaOne 
conflicts with the 2nd week.

Given the circumstances, I  think it would be reasonable to include 
choices in the straw poll
for all the weeks of June. This would be a somewhat liberal 
interpretation of "mid-june", but it would
seem to afford the best opportunity to find out the TC's preferences 
within the established parameters.
