I was simply exploring how bad it would be if we failed to set up a 
no-conflict schedule.  Eliminating conflict is the desired outcome.

Without addressing which site actually moves, lets try to find desirable 
alternate times.  This is necessary because our hosts may (probably will) 
encounter room booking conflicts.  Here is a list of alternatives, in what 
I perceive to be ranking order, for comment:

         1. 2nd Thur   0 days from present meeting time
         2. 1st Thur   -7 days
         3. 3rd Thur   +7 days
         4. 1st Tue    -9 days
         5. 1st Wed    -8 days
         6. 3rd Wed    +6 days
         7. 3rd Tue    +5 days


There is no 4th week as there is contention with Thanksgiving and 
Christmas.  The other 4 days of the week have problems and I have avoided 
listing them as alternatives.

One possibility here is that in 2007 *both* sites change days so we meet on 
1st Thur at one location and 3rd Thur at the other.  Flip a coin who gets 
which date.  For now, lets get through 2006 with the least booking impact.
