Re: [RPRWG] Preliminary Announcement for May Interim

I think we should try going with the wireless guys in May. After that we (and based on attendance) we may want to go back to interum meetings in San Jose, without providing breakfasts and lunch and snacks, so we don't have the $250 cost.

My 2 cents on interim meetings:

It looks like we will have at least three options for interim meetings:
    1) line up with the Wireless groups
    2) line up with 802.3
    3) go independent.

I would suggest that we at least wait until the May interim is over to see
how well hooking up with other 802 groups works out.  Then, let's see how
long in advance we need to commit to making a choice.  I personally like to
see options remain open as long as possible so that we can optimize our
choices of dates and venue for 802.17 needs, rather than have to accept the
dates / venues that are driven by other groups.
