Re: Interim Meeting

I want to emphasize what Scott posted on this thread:

The meeting will have a posted agenda, one has already been proposed on the
list (check the archives).  The meeting will also have minutes, just as all
regular IETF meetings do.

Recall that we are 'calendar squeezed' for this meeting.  Many of us are
involved in other activities - ICANN and APRICOT meet between now and the
IETF.

As far as scheduling the meeting - The DC location was chosen after
consideration in a thread.  (Again, check the archives.)  I started the
motion to set the meeting in place on Jan. 20, the first day after I heard
that our charter had been sent to the IESG.  The latest we would be allowed
to hold a meeting would be Feb 23, or we'd be running to close to the IETF
main meeting (not to mention APRICOT and ICANN conflicts).  Given that we
wanted as much notice possible, that pretty much put us around Feb 20.

As far as airfare from Seattle (sorry, Chris, I couldn't resist the challenge):

Southwest air flights:
244/133 on Feb 19 (leaves SeaTac 1pm, change in KC, lands BWI 10:45pm)
113/2359 on Feb 21 (leaves BWI 7:55am, change in Phoenix, lands S/T 3:40pm)

Total cost: $431 (including taxes), no Sat stayover needed.  (I just got
these prices on there web site.)  BWI is about 60 miles from the meeting.
