A critical new element here is the initiation of video for our<br>meetings. Video recording makes living near/far much less relevant. Video<br>allows us to serve a larger community. We have an opportunity here but not<br>
enough info to decide. Will Google continue video recording future<br>meetings? Hosting us is not entirely cost free for them and IMO, they have<br>a lot to contribute to the discussion.</blockquote><div><br>This is planned for all meetings currently scheduled at Google and I'm sure I can make arrangements for taping at any other sessions scheduled at our office.

not shown up for any recent meetings with people who do. The survey was<br>not cognoscent of where we actually meet. We have the results of "votes"<br>from people who do show up: attendance at Google is approximately 2:1 over
<br>Ironport.</blockquote><div><br>I will look into confirming room availability and all the other due diligence required on Monday. I will ping the list to let you know the outcome. While I wouldn't want to take anyone away from a different, preferred location, Google is always happy to host you.
