Bob,

I completely agree with your comments. The rapporteurs will meet to discuss this on Monday and we will post a message to the reflector with the outcome of the discussions.

Glen, Paul, etc.

Due to the tragedy on Tuesday, travel has been extremely confused. Although domestic air travel has restarted, it is and will continue to be extremely problematic for the foreseeable future. Airports are being closed with no notice for "FBI activities." Many companies, including ours, have banned all air travel. All international flights on international carriers have been banned until further notice.

As a reference, SG11 has canceled their meetings.

Therefore, I strongly suggest that the Santa Barbara meeting be postponed, or canceled. It is better if this was not necessary; but I fear that it is necessary.

Bob
