restructuring 

I am not able to attend any meeting on the 11th July. I am not sure why we need 
a f2f at all, certainly we don't need a two day one. Anyway, I will be flying 
back to the US July 11 and so will not be able to attend, and would suggest 
that you look at other dates. It's odd, but when you talk about f2f meetings 
you are assuming Washington?
