I wonder at what point the MPI Forum will support digital attendance. I guess someone must have looked into this and decided that it was too much of pain in the arse. Jeff On Tue, Sep 20, 2011 at 8:18 AM, Jeff Squyres <[email protected]> wrote:

Sidenote: Should we start investigating virtual presence technology? �There would need to be discussion of a) how to attend, and b) what exactly it would mean (voting-wise) to attend virtually. �E.g., you would only count as having "attended" virtually if you actually attend/participate in over half the sessions, or somesuch.

I recently had a request to broaden the meeting site location to include one meeting in the far east - specifically in Japan. �This request seems reasonable to me, since we have had regular attendance from Japan over the last four years, and as a way to increase involvement from the CS community in east Asia. �Therefore, I am inclined to move the May, 2012 meeting from the CA bay area to Japan. �Please let me know what you think. �I know this will make it more difficult for folks from the US to attend, but it seems only fair to include this geographic area in the meeting schedule.
