Especially that we seem to be diverging from the pattern of holding half of the WG5 meetings in Las Vegas. But if there is a regular week that works for everyone, and the meetings are scheduled far enough in advance, the host country issues would rarely enter. That was, in fact, the whole point of the thread - Toon reserving a time with the Dutch authorities for the 2013 meeting. Having a predictable schedule simplifies planning for everyone and minimizes the chances of conflicts with personal schedules, enabling the the largest participation.
