[USML Announce] USML - Draft Day dilemma

[Richard E. Robbins]

Ugh.  I will be on an airplane the evening of April 2.  I simply will not be
available then.
 
I am available the weekend of March 13.

Gang:
 
  In reading through the e-mail, it seems like almost every weekend will
pose a problem of one sort or another.  But whatever the solution is going
to be, we have to implement it fast so people can start planning.  I have
not even checked my own calendar to see if I am available the weekend of
March 13 (I didn't even know that date was on the table?), but I think
everyone should promptly weigh in with their availability for that weekend.
 
  I would propose the following, assuming that most people are available on
the weekend of March 13: (1) we set a draft date on that weekend, but (2)
keep open the evening of April 2 as an alternate date for now in case the
SBC strike is averted well in advance (probably a long-shot, I know) -- far
enough in advance to give out-of-towners time to adjust.  If the draft must
be that weekend of March 13, I would suggest either a Friday night or a
Saturday a.m.  I have a trial in Michigan that starts on Monday, March 15
(Mark/Jim: its against SBC, so I know you guys will understand).
 
  Please try to respond quickly; we can set a date and then deal with the
attendant problems of drafting early and new rules proposals.
