December ZIG: scheduling

This is one of two messages conveying preliminary information about the next ZIG
meeting, to be held December 6-8 (Wednesday through Friday),  in Washington DC
at the Library of Congress.  More formal information will be available soon;
watch the Maintenance Agency page.  This message pertains to scheduling.
Another detailed message describes tentative focus sessions.

When we first scheduled the meeting, I was unable to obtain a large room for
Wednesday (December 6), so we said (at the time) that we would schedule smaller,
breakout meetings for Wednesday.  Since then however, we've decided that we
really don't need a full-day of breakout meetings; for the past two meetings we
have had only a couple occasions where there were multiple concurrent meetings.
For most so-called "breakout" meetings, everone attends, and so we've started
calling these "focus sessions" instead.

 I had originally booked the Mumford room for Thursday and Friday but no large
room for Wednesday. Recently I was able to book the Pickford room (which should
hold everyone) for Wedesday, but only from 11-5. The result is that we don't
have a large room available Wednesday until 11, so I would like to schedule
breakout meetings for the that morning.

If you would like to hold a breakout meeting, please let me know. Depending on
how many are scheduled, and for how long, we could do one of the following:

(1) have concurrent breakout meetings until 11, with ZIG meeting(s) from 11-5,
with a late lunch in the middle; or
(2) have breakout meetings, until, say, 12, lunch break, then begin ZIG at 1.

or, other suggestions are welcome.  Again, please let me know soon if you want
to hold a breakout meeting.
