Re: Future F2F meetings?

I sent the following email to IETF RTCWEB WG and MMUSIC WG chairs and W3 WG
chairs - note I've gotten no response from any of the them.   I realize
there is no perfect timing to suit everyone. And, I certainly won't insist
the meetings be co-located, but I will insist that the dates of interims
not conflict and that the dates allow all interested parties to attend all
the interim meetings if they so chose.

Regards,
Mary.

Hi RTCWEB WG chairs and W3C WebRTC chairs,

Just a note that the CLUE WG is also planning an interim for late May.
 While I don't anticipate we would want to coordinate location
(necessarily), I would like to request that the meetings do not conflict.
 The University of Naples (Meetecho guys) have offered to host the CLUE
meeting in Naples, so that's our current plan.   While many of the RTCWEB
folks don't go to CLUE meetings, a number of CLUE contributors do attend
RTCWEB meetings.

I also have a question as to whether the MMUSIC WG would be part of this
interim? My guess is that the majority of WG items needing to be completed
for RTCWEB by that time will be dependencies in the MMUSIC WG.  The last
interim ended up being as much about MMUSIC as RTCWEB and rather than have
the scramble at the last minute (after the agenda is out), I think it's
prudent to consider that in the initial planning.  Obviously, if there is
an MMUSIC WG interim, it's imperative that it not conflict with CLUE given
that CLUE has many dependencies as well.

Thanks,
Mary.
