At the last meeting we had general agreement to continue the current pace of meetings until MPI 3.0 is finalized, and then go down to 4 meetings a year, but longer meetings. The time frame we have set for MPI 3.0 means that the first 3 meetings in 2012 will continue at the current pace, and then we will cut back to quarterly. Here is a first suggestion for meeting dates - please send any conflicts that you are aware of. Also, there has been a push to move the west coast meetings to Portland, OR - are people OK with that ? Thanks, Rich Jan 9-11: Portland, OR March 5-7: Chicago, IL April 30 - May 2: Portland, OR - Final MPI 3.0 vote June 25-28: Chicago, IL Sept: In conjunction with EuroMPI Dec 3-6: Portland, OR
