Re: Next f2f meeting

I'll be in Sapporo. It's not clear whether I'll be able to attend SDW if held there, but I think there are some real benefits in being able to talk to e.g. the people who did the WAI research stuff on accessible way-finding (which I think is an important use case we should be able to enable), people from the geolocation group, hopefully the TAG, and probably others.

Even if it isn't in the context of formal meetings, being in the same hallways and being able to schedule a couple of things that get some crossover during the plenary day are vary valuable opportunities.

It's not technically insane to actually have formal face to face meetings at both venues, either. Although we should be clear that for many people it isn't financially feasible to attend both, and we would need to actively manage that with attention to e.g. really good minutes being made available fast, remote participation possibiities, etc.

cheers
