<br>
In 2012 we (briefly) managed an every-four-months pattern of
meetings: February - June - October. Is it your view that a
January - May - September pattern would be easier to schedule?<br>

Schedule: When we changed from 4 meetings/year to 3, the
schedule for the non-plenary meetings wasn’t adjusted, so
we’ve had March, June, and September meetings, leaving a
6-month gap between September and March. I propose that
starting in 2015, we adopt a January, May, September
schedule, so meetings are evenly spaced.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

Meeting Host: I had a tentative offer, but that is no longer
on the table. Please check if you can host multiple WGs for
4-5 days sometime that month. I’d like to announce a host
and date block for that meeting as soon as a possible, and
in any event no later than the close of our Prague meeting
in June 2014.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
