Re: [802SEC] a sensible way forward? nNA venues for 2011 and 2012
Pat,
I agree it is probably a good time to do this motion so we can
get going on this.
I questions for Buzz and others regarding site visits since the
motion includes approval for funding site visits.
What do we normally do when we are considering a new venue?
Does someone do a site visit? Is that part of the face-to-face
contract? I don't recall ever approving a separate expense for this. A
little background on this would be helpful. Thanks.
Also, if we decide to approve an expense for site visits we
should probably include a limit on that expense in the motion.
Regards,
Steve

Paul,
Can we run this motion? I am concerned that if we don't start it soon we
will lose the ability to start the non-NA proposal process with
tentative proposals due for our March meeting and firm proposals in
July. If it pushes out further, it may make March 2011 very difficult.
In my last email I pointed out that it is more efficient for us to work
on planning for these three meetings in the same proposal cycle. Running
a concurrent process for the three plenaries may also make it easier for
potential hosts. When they contact possible venues, they can ask about
availabilty for any of the three dates.
