[sv-ac] RE: Proposal: 2-day "Mantis Marathon" face-to-face

Austin should work for me.  Dmitry, I assume from your distance, Austin
is just as good as SC.

How about the rest of you?  I haven't seen many replies to yesterday's
email.  If we want this to happen we should get things moving.  The more
of us that can attend in person, the more effective it will be.

(BTW-- John-- is someone investigating the reflector problems?)

Hi Erik:

After having slept on this, I woke up thinking it is a good idea to try
to make a face-to-face work.

However, I will not be able to attend in person unless the meeting is in
Austin.  So I am interested to hear whether people can attend a meeting
in Austin near the transition from September to October.

Wherever the meeting is held, there should be accommodation of remote
participants, at least through a conference call.  Possibly some
web-based multimedia sharing could be done.

There will need to be a quorum of participants in order to vote on
proposals.  If a quorum of participants cannot be raised, then the
meeting could still serve to accelerate revision and convergence on
proposals.
