Interim IPS meeting

["Rodriguez, Elizabeth G (Elizabeth)" <egrodriguez@lucent.com>]

Hello all,

We  believe that there is need to have an interum IPS meeting.  
We would like to present 3 options to the working group so that we can
schedule this meeting.

Option 1: Week of January 15, Orlando, in conjunction with T10
Tuesday, Jan 16 8-12 -- Joint meeting to discuss transport/framing, common
issues
Tuesday, Jan 16 1-5 (or whenever) -- iSCSI, 
Wednesday, Jan 17 8-10 -- iSCSI, if necessary
Wednesday, Jan 17 10 - 5 (or whenever), -- FC

Option 2: Week of Jan 22.  Florham Park, NJ, about 30 minutes from Newark
Airport
Monday, Jan 22 8-12 -- Joint meeting to discuss transport/framing, common
issues
Monday, Jan 22 1-5 (or whenever) -- iSCSI, 
Tuesday, Jan 23 8-10 -- iSCSI, if necessary
Tuesday, Jan 23 10 - 5 (or whenever), -- FC

Option 3: Split venue
Orlando, January 15 & 16
Monday morning -- Common issues
Monday afternoon and Tuesday -- iSCSI
Friday, Feb 9 -- FC at Huntington Beach at T11.

Holding the meeting (at least the iSCSI part) the week of Jan 15 in Orlando
with T10 means that the two groups can leverage the experties of one another
at that meeting.  FC will also benifit from holding the meeting that week,
in that usually some Fibre Channel people attend T10 as well, but would
benifit more from holding the meeting during T11 week.  We need to balance
that benifit with travel problems this might cause attendees.

For those of you who do not know, T10 is the SCSI standards organization,
and T11 is the Fibre Channel standards organization.

I would like to get a feel for what works best for people interested in
attending these sessions.  If you plan on attending, please reply only to me
(e.g. do not do a 'reply all'!)
1) Which option or options work for you, in order of preference
2) If you plan on attending the joint session, the iSCSI focused meetings
and/or the FC focused meetings.
3) If you wish to attend both iSCSI and FC sessions, please indicate if you
are already planning on being at the T10 and/or T11 meetings as well.

Thanks,

Elizabeth
