Re: [802SEC] +++EC Email Ballot+++ Motion on The Atlanta Proposal+++ends 29 July 2005

["Grow, Bob" <bob.grow@INTEL.COM>]

Colleagues:

I am concerned about how far out these meetings are.  I looked back the
same period as these contracts are looking forward  (4 and 6 years).  In
July 2001 we had 1019 attendees, and in July 1999 we only had 469. 

My crystal ball isn't that good (I sure didn't project the dramatic
attendance growth from 1999 to 2001), and don't even expect the growth
of the last four years to continue at the same pace, but I do remember
November 2001 being held captive in the Austin convention center because
of a tornado in the area, people stealing a trash bag out of the janitor
closet to make a poncho, and then walking through torential rain back to
the overflow hotel whether other 802.3 meetings were being held.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Hyatt Regency Atlanta couldn't hold us in
four years.  In six years who knows how big we will be, we might even
have figured out how to transition to entity balloting and be back to a
few hundred attendees ;-).

I'll reluctantly vote in favor of 2009, but vote against 2011.
