I think is clear that we need to fix the meeting dates, and that should be
done in advance so we avoid clashes with other events and we can negotiate
with hotels and sponsors ahead of time enough to make it cheaper.
While I don't agree is to take in consideration national holidays unless
they are (almost) *worldwide* ones. Otherwise, taking the national holidays
from one or the other country will be discriminatory for the rest. Moreover
when we don't know the place we will meet 3-4 years in advance. Otherwise we
need to manage at the same time the meeting date and the place for each
meeting, which we know is impossible.

An alternative to coordinating meeting dates with a growing list of peer

March, July, and November every year. Such a stance would help everyone
to schedule.

your choice.]
proposed meeting dates through 2010 are posted on the meetings page,
fixing them in stone reduces leway on negotiating future hotel contracts.
There are other unforseen exegiencies that fixing the data in absence of a
location create like inconvenient national holidays, that make travel to
or from a location infeasible.
