What I  said, after several people objected that Guus and I appeared to be  making a f2f6 decision for Boston (which we didn't - we just  suggested it), was "so forget the Boston part and consider it as if  we flipped a coin and picked Manchester"  By the way, I am quite surprised by the flap today over location.  At  the last telecon we resolved:  >16:13:27 [jhendler] >ACTION: group being split between NY and Manchester in preference,  >chairs will determine and inform group.  which was requested of me and Guus after we both made it clear we'd  rather the group picked.  However,  since there was a virtual split  decision to a straw poll, we were delegated the responsibility.  Next  time if you don't want us to make a decision, please don't ask us to  do so.    -JH    --  Professor James Hendler				  [email protected] Director, Semantic Web and Agent Technologies	  301-405-2696 Maryland Information and Network Dynamics Lab.	  301-405-6707 (Fax) Univ of Maryland, College Park, MD 20742	  240-731-3822 (Cell) http://www.cs.umd.edu/users/hendler
