Folks,

I'm not sure how the mechanics of decision making would work in a two
meeting scenario.  Jody, perhaps you can comment from the GeoTools experience
with this?

If we do have a single meeting, I think it puts extra onus on those who can't
attend to express their thoughts by email.  I would add it puts an onus on
the committee not to make radical decisions without sufficient notice on
the agenda.

I would be happy to make myself available for an antipodal discussion
session before or after the formal meeting if that would be helpful.

Best regards,
