Subject: [asac] Postponement of telecon
Message-ID: <48200F2C.5030000@alma.cl>

Dear All,

I would like to suggest that we postpone the telecon due this Wednesday 
for two weeks, i.e. until Wednesday 21st May.  I am sorry to give you so 
little notice - this has rather snuck up on me.  There has been too much 
going on to prepare for this but I think we can have a useful session in 
2 weeks time.

Please let me know if there are clashes on the 21st and also if there 
are special considerations regarding the timing - e.g. will you be in 
Hawaii, Jonathon?

Best Richard

Subject: [asac] Telecon on Wednesday (/Thursday)
Message-ID: <4831FDEA.60104@alma.cl>

Dear All,

As agreed this postponed telecon will take place on Wednesday 21st May. 
  Because we are spread right round the globe, there is no convenient 
time for everyone, especially at this time of year.  The two least bad 
options are:

Option A   22:00 UTC = Midnight in Europe, 6am in Taipei, 7am in Tokyo 
and reasonable times everywhere else.

Option B   15:00 UTC = 5am in Hawaii, 11pm in Taipei, midnight in Tokyo 
and reasonable for the rest.

Note that for option A, the meeting will actually be on the morning of 
Thursday 22nd May for those in East Asia.

The ASAC chair will decide which of these is most practical and we will 
let you know.

We now have the feedback and revised charges from the Board - see 
attached.  I do apologize that this has taken so long.  I am afraid that 
it was not possible to get a decision on how to proceed with the 
Development plan until the Board's telecon last week.  As you will see 
from the revised charges they want us to push on with this but on a 
somewhat reduced scale.  I hope that we can have a productive discussion 
about the next steps at our telecon.

Look forward to talking to you then.

Best Richard

Dear All

I will prefer option A for the telecon. Please, read the new charges
and the answer from the Board. We have to reconduct the
charge N3 to a less ambitious, but probably more realistic,
scope.

Cheers
Pepe
