I expect we'll chose one of these options next Tuesday, so we can make travel arrangements. Microsoft fully supports having this meeting. However, we believe it should be held in a V1 member-neutral environment. We propose having the meeting at an airport hotel in Chicago (for example), since that area is centrally located and well serviced by airlines. Microsoft is willing to organize and pay for the meeting facility. Since this is only 5 weeks away, in order to book a hotel, we'll need to move fast; that is, we'll need to agree on a location (primary and, possibly, alternate) and get a rough head count during the Tue meeting.
