Now we know that
Seattle is not feasible (due to the lack of meeting space), the alternative to Seattle is Bellevue. Bellevue is quite a nice town, but the public transportation isn’t that great compared to Seattle. There is bus 560 that runs once per half hour from airport
(once per hour during weekend) and the trip is about 50 minutes; otherwise we would need to use taxi or rental car (Taxi is about $55 to Bellevue downtown, Uber is about $35-$40), which takes about 30 minutes from/to the airport. Bellevue also has fewer hotels
(one Hyatt, one Westin, one Courtyard Marriott, a few other nice local hotels). Should we get a doodle poll to decide whether the majority would prefer San Jose vs Bellevue given the above information? If we get this done early I can secure the meeting rooms<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);"><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Thanks<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 11pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: rgb(31, 73, 125);">Anh

The general consensus was to keep the 3 US
+ EuroMPI meeting schedule and to also keep the length for each meeting (Mon afternoon to Thu noon for the US meetings). As for locations and dates, here is the current proposal:<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Chicago (Microsoft facility downtown):<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">2/29-3/3 -OR– 3/7-3/10 (see below)<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;"><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">Seattle (Microsoft facility downtown):<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">6/6-6/9<o:p></o:p></span></p></div><div><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10.5pt; font-family: Calibri, sans-serif; color: black;">However, it turns out that the facility has no meeting room large enough for us – the proposal is therefore to hold the meeting in Bellevue near Seattle at the
