CCSM SSC Meeting

November 12, 2004

Venue and Timing

• Time slot: June 21-23, 2005– No conflicts with AGU, AMS, EGS meetings– No conflicts with Gordon Conferences

• Possible venues:– Local: Broomfield, Westminster, Denver– “Traditional”: Breckenridge

• Recommendation: Breckenridge– Thanks to Jay, there is no cost differential.– We had already prepared a contract for ‘05.
