>To all -- > >As CoChair of AJL 05 I am sensitive to the issues involved. I don't know >the genesis of the decision to begin conventions on the third Sunday >(which is also Father's Day), but here are some pieces I've been told: > "Holding it earlier would impact school teaching and the run-up to > final exams." > "Holding it later means vacations would be interrupted." > >There are implications for any date, though. Of course we regret the >timing relative to the CAJE meeting, but we were not aware of the >conflict. There are also pricing issues, as summer vacations often mean >higher prices in the hotels. > >Just to let you know, however, the 06 group is now negotiating with their >hotel on the basis of the same date: the 3rd Sunday in June. > > >Fred Isaac > AJL 05
