OOPS! I am definitely required to be at SIGGRAPH this year.

Won't there be some PNG review by then? There may also be some additional
VRML work to get started. How about MPEG-4 relationships?

OK by me. We would have to hold it in Orlando but we might be able to get
the SIGGRAPH 98 committee to arrange for meeting space.

How about alternative 3):

3) Consider moing the SC24 meeting back to its proper timeframe (early June)
and hold it somewhere in Europe that can actually host it at that time.
