The end of July is impossible for Steve and Dan commented that it was a bad time with respect to air fares. Since sending my request, I have been thinking about a timetable for the next standard and have come to the conclusion that it would be better from that point of view to move the meeting forward by 3 months. I will send my draft timetable in a separate message. Moving the meeting forward will help with air fares, of course. Dan suggested the possibility of a joint meeting in May in the Netherlands. The Dutch are willing to host a meeting 11-15 April for WG5 or 9-13 May for WG5/J3, but say that the number of participants should be limited to about 20. We had 15 participants last year in Dresden, which was a WG5 meeting. A combined WG5/J3 meeting might yield more, though I would be very (agreeably) surprised if we had more than 20. Mainly for this reason, my preferance is for a WG5 meeting 11-15 April. What do the rest of you think? We can make the final decision at the May meeting, but I also need to hear from those who will not be there. Best wishes, John.
