AFAIR, the primary reason the PTG was suggested as a venue is because it would allow us to engage with the technical/development community on these important topics. Mark. On Thu, Dec 8, 2016 at 1:54 AM, Roland Chan <roland@aptira.com> wrote:
Thanks Alan.
I see that you're suggesting we meet at the PTGs, which isn't an event that I was planning on attending. The travel impact for a one day (or closer to a half day in Tahoe) meeting is significant for anyone who happens to be in a location inconveniently far from the PTG.
Since the Gold sponsors are now relatively evenly spread across the globe (> 50% from the "Rest of World"), and board membership is a definitely a goal for many of us, this may be a larger problem in the future, especially if this pattern is echoed in the individual elections as well.
Perhaps worth revisiting once the new board is constituted and the size of the problem is known, but I have some disquiet about pegging 3/4 of the F2F meetings to US locations.

Jan 31, 1 -3pm pacific – conf call
Feb 24, All day F2F at PTG, Atlanta

Don’t put these on your calendar yet. More refinement is needed. For example I haven’t coordinated with the Foundation staff for the Summit and PTG schedules.
Thanks,
