It's vacation time here too and I'd just as soon spend it with my family as at a WG15 meeting, whether plenary or ad-hoc. This was set as a tentative meeting and my understanding is that it was only to be held if it was considered necessary to keep the work flowing on a timely basis. If we lack a convenor to make the email ballot process work it may very well be necessary. > Based on the WG15-PASC-TOG ad-hoc in progress - one of the > options could be for the WG15 plenary to co-locate with future PASC meetings. > > regards > Andrew While it might be a bit of wishful thinking to expect PASC to meet in either Copenhagen or Japan anytime in the next twelve months, I do hope that PASC will also consider co-locating with WG15 for some future meetings as well. It would be unreasonable to expect the US to host WG15 for every meeting and an unreasonable travel burden for non-North American delegates. Perhaps TOG would care to offer to host both PASC and WG15 in conjunction with one of its meetings sometime too. :-) Dave -- D. J.
