<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear All,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I know that our Fall meeting is still far away. However, I need to freeze the dates in order to commit rooms and other facilities and to get the Area Director's approval.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">In our WGs, 6 US members attend the meetings regularly while other 3 members only attend occasionally. </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Out of the 6 regular members only 4 replied to the question below as follows;</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">2 supported Nov. 29- Dec 2</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1 supported Nov. 16-Nov 18</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">1 proposed a date in October </font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">It seems, therefore, that the initial choice was unfortunate!</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">While October is out due to SFCG-25, Nov. 16-18 may present logistics problems. Could I get the view of the two participating members who have not replied yet?</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">I would like to fix the dates this week so as to try to arrange the logistics.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Regards, Enrico</font>

<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Dear All,</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">during the Athens meeting I proposed Nov. 21-25 for our meetings to be held somewhere in Europe. The reasons behind this choice are the SFCG-25 in China in October and the ITU WP7B meeting in Geneva that ends on November 14 (Monday!)</font>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Nobody opposed my proposal.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Working on the minutes of the meeting, I have just discovered that Nov. 24 is Thanksgiving and therefore that the US members of our WGs may not be able to attend.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Please let me know if we can maintain such date or an alternate date like Nov. 29 (Tuesday)-Dec. 2 would be a better choice. Possible venues are ESOC in Germany or Alenia in Rome.</font>
<br>
<br><font size=2 face="sans-serif">Best Regards, Enrico</font>
