Hi Jim,

Oct 24-30 is URSI meeting. Probably few people affected (mainly me?)
For me 1-7 Nov is also out as I have to be in Geneva. But is should not
stop the LBA.

Steve suggested January. That can be difficult with many people on
vacation.
Is Tid going to be back in January?
Also, January + March makes the tape situation difficult. It's not
impossible if I become a bit more ruthless.

On balance, I'd prefer one this year and one March next year. Either
suggested session in March is ok with me at this stage.

But I guess it all depends on Tid availability and what the proposals
are asking for.

Cheers
Tasso
