Re: [tei-council] F2F poll results

I am now planning to be in my french country hideout from mid april onwards so i don't have a strong preference about which end of the week it is ... It will be equally disruptive either way !

Airfare-wise it probably all comes out even then.

I’m tempted to offer Durham again just so I don’t have to travel ;-). Not sure I could manage the same service level as last time though. We could meet Sunday–Tuesday (though obviously not Raffaele that week) or Thursday–Saturday as far as I’m concerned. Either the North Americans or the Europeans will have to do Saturday night stays wherever we end up.

For me, Boston looks like about $260-$300, vs. $1250-ish minimum for Frankfurt.

If it’s Frankfurt though, Raffaele can’t do the early part of the week. You indicated "if need be" for the latter part, Lou. How contingent is that?

I can certainly ask the Board for budgetary guidance, though James may already have some insight there?

So, if the choice is between Boston and Frankfurt (either of which would suit me fine, from most points of view), just for the record, a quick check shows that the cheapest return flights between Rome, Frankfurt or London and Boston during that week seem to range from 400 to 600 pounds (but at least double that if there's no saturday night stay involved) versus around 120 pounds for a flight London - Frankfurt.

Maybe we should ask the Board for guidance on whether to prefer political niceness over economic interest?

Ok - looks like I spoke too soon. MITH is hosting a conference the following week and our staff will be flailing around getting things ready. So College Park is not an option this time around, apologies!

Hi Hugh, travel to Europe would turn my if-need-be into no for April 27-29. I'm away the weekend before and won't be back in DC until Sunday 26. That should give me enough time to get somewhere in the US by Sunday evening, but not to Europe.

The offer for College Park still stands. MITH https://www.facilities.umd.edu/Style%20Library/Images/cmp/mith/mithl1.jpg is a lovely and well equipped space where to work. College Park may not the nicest place to visit, but DC is a mere 15 minute train ride away.

Hi Hugh and all, that week is in general ok for me. I will be at Brown University on April 17-18 for a workshop so I could decide to remain in US the following week, and then join the Council meeting. Obviously this make sense (especially for economic reasons) if the meeting will be and the start of the week, that is why I prefer 27-29.

Looks like we have (sort of) a winner: the week of April 27–May 1. Raffaele marked "if need be" for the 27th–29th and Lou and Fabio for the 29th–May 1. How much of a problem are those conflicts? In particular, would

If I’m not mistaken, these are the offers to host we’ve had so far:

## US Boston (Syd) College Park (Raffaele) Ann Arbour (Paul)

## Canada Victoria (Martin)

## Europe Mainz (Peter) Estonia (maybe…)

Is that correct? Other takers or ideas?
