RE: About the 802.3 September Interim Meetings




Colleagues,

This situation is inconvenient for all concerned. However, we should
remember that it is most inconvenient for those who are now trying
to pull a rabbit out of a hat and find a hotel with guest rooms 
and meeting rooms to accomodate ~250 people with a little under
a months lead time. 

We really don't need a lot of reflector time spent telling them that
it would be more convenient to be closer to the planned location.
Be nice or I'll see if I can find someplace in Sacramento.

Pat

I have also made plans to be in the New England area at that time.  If at
all possible, that would be the best part of the country for me.
