[Go] Dates for next GOC meeting - weekends?

Fri Jan 9 10:22:34 PST 2009

Would moving the meeting to Mon-Wed, or Wed-Fri (rather than Tue-Thu,
maximally far from any weekend) be helpful to minimize travel expense /
extra time wasted?

Hi Jane,

I think there are (or have been) flights now that don't depend on the
Saturday night stay over.  In general, I think, people like to be home
on weekends and work during the week.  I know that I, we, work weekends
and travel weekends, but I myself am trying to influence planning, such
as I can, to allow people to be home weekends.

Is there any reason we don't have meetings over the weekends any more?
We always used to. Over this side of the Atlantic we have the problem of
needing a Saturday night stay to get reasonably priced flights...

thanks,

Jane
