While I don't mind having a meeting in Portland, I second Jeff's thought in that I'd prefer not have all of the west coast up there. It doesn't have nearly the flight options that the three airport Bay area has, meaning that there's a high likelihood that arriving Monday morning leaving Wednesday night won't work for those of us who don't live in hub cities. And Cisco does seem to have really stable wifi... Brian On 6/9/11 7:25 AM, "Jeff Squyres" <[email protected]> wrote:

Rich --

Did you mean June 25-27 and Dec 3-5? (you said June 25-28 and Dec 3-6)

Also, if you put the meetings in Portland and Chicago, then Microsoft will be hosting *ALL* of them. Was that intended? Will Microsoft be willing to do that? Will we all be willing to put up with intermittent wifi at every meeting? (sorry, it's true...)

I'd be willing to keep hosting at Cisco in San Jose, CA.

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
