I generally agree with those who find fault with a meting that overlaps =
with July 4.  If the meeting ends up in Berkeley. since July 4 is a =
major holiday in the US. , i assume there would be issues with the Lab =
being potentially closed.=20

If we have the meeting in the UK, Manchester (ARM hosting) would be more =
convenient as several of us already =E2=80=9Cknow=E2=80=99 that city =
from a past meeting there,=20

I would note that we had a meeting once at a University campus =
(TU-Dresden in Germany) and it seemed to go OK.=20

During this year=E2=80=99s Supercomputing Conference (held in Atlanta) a =
group of us over lunch discussed possible alternatives for locations. =
Based on three criterion (a large enough convention center, lots of =
hotel rooms, and warm weather in November - at least predictable) we =
narrowed the list of two candidates;  Las Vegas and Honolulu.  Both are =
easy for travel,  though Honolulu can tend to be a bit expensive.=20

I=E2=80=99m still not clear on why our June meeting needs to have a =
J3/INCITS component as opposed to being fully a WG5 meeting.=20

Cheers,
BIll

(Writing from Honolulu where the daytime highs are still in the low =
80=E2=80=99s (F), even in December.)

>> Hello. As Nathan mentioned on Tuesday, I have been looking at getting =
things sorted so that we can offer to host it at Warwick University. =
I've managed to get approval for us to host it with a few (I hope minor) =
caveats if people are interested. Basically the restrictions are

>>     Warwick does have some lovely conference facilities, but on this =
notice, I can't put enough money on the budget for booking them. We'd =
have to use rooms in one of the academic departments. I've managed to =
get "in principle" reservation for up to 4 suitably sized rooms in the =
brand new, award winning Faculty of Arts building. All of the rooms have =
projectors, good network facilities and built in presenter computers. We =
can get USB connected video conferencing gear, so there shouldn't be any =
problems with video links, but there isn't a dedicated video =
conferencing suite. We do have public wireless internet available to =
anyone on site.
>>=20
>> 2.                  Because of having to use teaching rooms it would =

>> The two missing weeks in July are graduation, so if they are the only =
possible dates for people then they are available, but they would need =
people to book hotel rooms etc. early because of how busy the campus =
gets. Given how things work at Warwick, the week of the 7th July would =
be simplest, but if people are interested in this suggestion in general =
then I could put out a poll for people to select when would be best. It =
would be best if I booked rooms etc. by early-ish in January, but this =
isn't a terribly fast timescale.

>>     We can provide all of the usual features like coffees, lunches =
etc. and we will able to offer a conference dinner included as well. I =
know that some people have rules that they have to work within on =
accepting hospitality etc. and we can         take payment for the =
conference dinners separately in these cases.
>>=20
>>     We can provide rooms in the on campus conference accommodation =
blocks where we should be able to offer an "internal" discount code that =
will give you B&B prices of =C2=A355 for single rooms and =C2=A370 for =
double/twin rooms. These are our conference centre rooms, not the =
student halls and I believe that it includes parking costs. We can help =
people with booking into other hotels if they want and there are several =
within easy travelling distance of the university, but we can't block =
book any of them because our policy is to only offer off campus =
accommodation if we can't offer on campus. If people do want to stay off =
campus then there are good transport links to campus by bus, taxi and =
car. There is a charge for parking on campus, but it can be booked in =
advance online, or paid on the day by phone or parking app.
>>=20
>> 5.                  While Warwick is a campus university and offers =
all of the usual facilities like restaurants, a sports centre and a =
small supermarket, it is also a ten minute bus ride from either Coventry =
or Kenilworth, so you are not dependent on the facilities on campus.
