Re: [802SEC] Final venue choices for our March 8-13, 2009 Plenary Session for your review
Buzz,
Carl brings up an interesting point. Is this meeting intended
to be the non-North America plenary? If we end up picking Vancouver for
March do we schedule a non-North America plenary in July 2009?
Regards,
Steve

Plenary Session for your review
Buzz,
Speaking for myself, I vote for the Rome location.
We've done Vancouver 2 or 3 times and while it's easier via-wise for
some of
our attendees than the US, it's still a North American venue and I think
that the EC should reject it in favor of the Rome location. (I am
disappointed that several Asian venues apparently didn't work out.)
As a member of the EC and the SA Board of Governors, I don't believe
that
Vancouver truly meets our stated policy goals of "walking the walk" as
an
international SDO by holding 802 plenaries in non-North American venues.
Other groups in the SA do ... Why is it so difficult for us?
Having the "choice" between an (we know they are more expensive) EU (or
Asian) venue vs. Vancouver doesn't seem like a fair question when taken
in
the context of our policy goal. It puts us in the position of "choose
the
more expensive one and meet the goal or choose the cheaper one and
ignore/abandon the goal."
I am finding this situation increasingly unacceptable. If you have any
immediate feedback, please e-mail me directly.
Regards,
Carl
