Looks like I missed that deadline - did you cancel the room?

Anyway, I think it would be useful to have a meeting on Bylaws in BA

but we don't necessarily need a big room with all facilities for that.
Most likely it'd be just a handful of people who could meet anywhere.

take to make it happen. I could arrange to arrive in BA on the 14th
just in case, though, CT willing.
