Hi Doug, All,

Although there are a number of advantages to f2f meetings, and I would 
support meeting at TPAC2015 if there was a clear and compelling need to 
meet then, I don't think we will have sufficient data to make an 
informed decision by April 30. As such, I recommend PEWG not formally 
meet at TPAC2015. Of course, if others have an opinion - either way - 
please do speak up.

That said, I agree with Jacob and Rick that as the work on PEv2 
progresses, if there appears to be a need for a f2f meeting we should 
certainly plan to have one.

-Thanks, ArtB
