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. I'm not clear on how a facility paid for by Microsoft is more "member-neutral" than a facility paid for by IBM. Please explain. Also, please explain why the ownership of the venue makes any difference to the quality of our work. I don't believe that this has ever been raised as a consideration in any previous work of this committee. | 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. We already agreed on Washington during our last phone conference. This location was agreeable to everyone, including Rex. I see no reason to change a decision already made and for which people have already begun making travel arrangements. Jon Classification: UNCLASSIFIED Caveats: NONE
