Quite frankly, if W3C has any funding to cover IE travelling
expenses, I'd rather they used it for technical groups, not
for this.

I think the way to handle AC meeting attendance here is to
just ask for volunteers -- whoever lives in the area or can
easily travel there -- and then if there's multiple people
volunteering for a particular meeting, we can vote amongst
them.

I'd like to re-iterate the point that this ML should not be
public, btw. Not everyone wants their geographical coordinates
broadcast on the Internet.
