[wsfii-discuss] re-scheduling the community currency panel plan

Sun Sep 18 22:35:12 UTC 2005

Dear Saul,

My current understanding is that there is now no-one on community 
currencies who is that pressed for time sunday afternoon (Keith needs to 
make a train at Waterloo at 1930 which means leaving at e.g. 1730 leaves 
him plenty of time). If that is the case why don't we simply leave Civic 
Info where it is but change the CC panel to 1545 - 1715 (or even 1600 - 
1730) and then have the final meta panel/WSFII congress starting 15 mins 
after that. This will minimize changes but still ensure that each panel 
has enough time.

Regards,

Rufus
