2015 F2F Meeting Schedule and Hosts

[Rex Jaeschke]

I'm simply trying to make the gaps between F2F meetings more uniform. And
since we're tied to a Plenary each September, that left only one obvious
alternative, every 4 months around that. We have some good synergy at F2F
meetings and to go up to 6 months between (September to March), I think, has
the potential for us to lose some momentum.

 

That said, I have no personal stake in the schedule of the non-Plenary
meetings.

 

We do, however, need to be flexible, depending on when hosts may have space
available. Some National Standards groups allocate their meeting rooms well
in advance.

Hi Rex

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?

Here are a couple of things to think about in advance of the Berlin meeting:

 

Meeting 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.

 

January 2015 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.

 

FYI, below is our meeting location history.
