I will also accept any communications about this for raising the issue at the Executive Committee Meeting. Unless my memory fails me, I raised this issue when the dates where first suggested and the sentiment of the group was that the scheduling opportunities for the sites which were acceptible to us outweighed the inconvenience to some participants. This was in part due to the lack of comments about previous conflicts. As I recall in Atlanta SUGI was over Ash Wed and Orlando was Holy Week. Selecting times & places is a very difficult problem, please communicate your desires. -phil -- J.
