Re: Face to face meeting dates

Hi AUWG:

After considerable back-and-forth, it appears that the best time to hold at
least a brief face-to-face AUWG meeting around the CSUN conference is
Sunday morning, March 26, 9:00am to 12:00 noon.

This would follow the WAI Interest Group meeting on Saturday late
afternoon, and it would run parallel to the Education and Outreach WG
meeting for the first half of Sunday. We (AUWG and EOWG) could then have a
joint lunch, and anyone from AUWG interested in EOWG would be welcome to
join EOWG for Sunday afternoon.

Here's why: Monday turned out not to be an option for a few folks,
including Jutta, who is a critical resource for this. And running AUWG and
EOWG back-to-back for a full day on Sunday was an unwelcome option to some
of the people who overlap membership in both groups. It was Jutta's and
Charles' feeling that a half-day face-to-face AUWG meeting at CSUN, given
the number of AUWG members who would be there already, would be better than
not meeting at all, and would help the group to re-energize once the
guidelines had become a Recommendation.

Please: If for any reason you disagree with this meeting schedule, please
let us (me, Jutta, Charles) know by the end of the day Tuesday/Feb 1.
Otherwise we will go ahead and finalize arrangements for Sunday morning,
March 26, 9:00 a.m. to 12:00 noon, and then a joint lunch w/ EOWG.

Thank you, 

- Judy
