These are all very good reasons to have it at the PTG - I am not
disagreeing with that portion.

I just don't remember a decision at the SYD meeting about the day - I
remember a short discussion and moving on.

I have tried to keep up to date with board developments, but for a
normal member of the community, this is very hard to do with actually
dialing in or attending - and I would be doing the projects I work on a
disservice by missing PTG sessions for this board meeting.

I would personally support not doing it again, (or if possible this time
either).
