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
