All, 

After having reviewed possible dates, venues, and logistics, 
it appears that an interim ForCES meeting in mid-February is 
not feasible at this time.

Having a ForCES meeting on Sunday, February 29, at the 
IETF 59 hotel site is still under consideration.

A final decision will be forthcoming by this Wednesday.

Cheers,
David

P.S. Sorry if this is a duplicate, appeared to bounce to me.
