[Ltru] Interim and Paris?

["Randy Presuhn" <randy_presuhn at mindspring.com>]

Hi -

I'd like to thank Jefsey for the generous offer.  The date proposed is too
close to the Paris IETF meeting.  We would not be able to make it an
official ltru WG interim meeting.  There is currently no plan for the WG
to meet in Paris, which would make scheduling an interim in July even
more unlikely.

If members of the working group believe it would be useful to have
a face-to-face WG session during the Paris IETF, they need to speak
up now, since Martin and I would need to request a meeting slot and
get our AD's approval to meet.

Randy, ltru co-chair

OT:
I am intrigued by the statement "I note that I am the only non-English
speaker at the WG-ltru".  Grammar aside, it can be read several ways:
  (1) All members except Jefsey are proficient in English.
  (2) Jefsey is the only member proficient in a language other than English.
  (3) All members except Jefsey have English as their native tongue.
  (4) All who have spoken on the ltru list, except Jefsey, are English.
  (5) All posters except Jefsey have posted only in English.

I know that (2), (3), and (4) are demonstrably false; one needs go no further
than the WG co-chairs to find the counter-examples.
