[wss] Next F2F planning

OK so we need to decide on the date
of our next F2F meeting. At the call yesterday I agreed to post the candidate
dates that were discussed.

Option A

We currently have this tentative booking
confirmed:

Wednesday/Thursday , December 11th and
12th 2002

As part of XML 2002 in Baltimore, Hosted
by OASIS

The advantage of this are that several
other TC's are also meeting there and that several of our members will
also be at XML2002 anyway.

The downside is, on the WSS TC call
yesterday, several folks indicated a problem with this date. 

Option B

On the call, some folks suggested Nov
21/22 (I think I got those dates right)  as an alternative date. This
is a Thursday/Friday. No venue was suggested but I think we are looking
to hold the meeting somewhere on the US East Coast.

Option C

Some other date.

We will explore some of the e-voting
ideas that were suggested as a way to close this but in the mean time I
am posting this note to start (hopefully a brief) discussion of the next
F2F date. Note that Nov 21/22 is the week before US Thanksgiving and also
some religious holidays and I suspect will not be any more popular than
the December date.  I am also concerned about having meetings on Fridays
as experience tells me that you lose a lot of pople early who are trying
to get home for the weekend (but again I may have got the date wrong).

So what do people think ?

Cheers
