[seek-announce] SEEK: November 2004 All-Hands Meeting RESERVE THESE DATES

[Bill Michener]

Sorry, but we all knew this when we decided on the dates.  It will not be
possible to reach agreement on a new set of meeting dates at this extremely
late point in time.  

It is absolutely critical that we have this meeting before the NSF site
review.

THESE DATES

I was just about to point this out when Peter's message came rolling in. 
  I, for one, would say that voting day should probably not be used for 
a meeting (or a travel day), especially this year when *everyone* should 
be voting.  I would move to change the meeting dates.  Even though 
everyone, including me, hates weekend meetings, I think this might be a 
time when it is appropriate.  I personally, do not want to vote absentee 
for such an important election.
