Title: Message 1. b) San Francisco 2. c) W-F Yes, I'm calling for an e-mail vote which will close first thing Monday morning (April 1st). That is, I'll count whatever's in my in-box when I get into work on Monday morning. Votes should be sent to the list as a response to this message. There are a couple of things on which to vote. 1) Date and Location. The choices are as follows (pick one): a) Mon.-Tue., April 22-23 in Milan, Italy (hosted by Pierangela and Ernesto at U. Milan) b) Thu.-Fri., April 25-26 in San Francisco, USA (hosted by Ken Yagen at CrossLogix) c) either choice is acceptable d) I cannot attend either choice 2) Duration. There has been a proposal to add an extra half day to the meeting. The choices are as follows (pick one): a) MILAN: Mon. afternoon, Tue. full day, Wed. full day b) MILAN: Mon. full day, Tue. full day, Wed morning c) SF: Wed. afternoon, Thu. full day, Fri. full day d) SF: Thu. full day, Fri. full day, Sat. morning e) forget about the extra half day; two full days is enough The largest number of votes on each item wins. Our face-to-face meetings have been well-attended and very productive so far; hopefully, we can continue this tradition. Carlisle.
