[J3] (SC22WG5.6240) 2022 WG5 meeting

[Bill Long]

Thanks, Brian!  The Berkeley Lab location had the nice feature of housing being an easy walking distance from the meeting rooms. And the Guest House price was reasonable.  OTOH, parking in Boulder was a lot easier. And driving to Boulder is possible, hedging bets on the state of flying by them.  Either option has a lot of good points (from my point of view). 

Note that I’m reluctant to offer Minneapolis again, mainly because of the widespread talk of “work-from-home” becoming the new norm in the tech industry, which  makes less clear the status of existing office spaces.  And meeting rooms at the MOA Marriott would be pretty expensive. 

Of course, I’m always OK with Las Vegas, assuming we can get a meeting room that is large enough. 

Cheers,
Bill
