Does it really matter? ;-)
Presumably, if the person feels that the meeting is evil, then they
won't
show up. All invective past that point is wholly irrelevant.
Conversely, however, I would not assume that a yes vote will imply
that the
person will show up.
that sounds a bit odd to me: how would one tell how many "yes" are
show-ups, and how many are not?
(one could always hypothesize extreme cases: out of 30 yes's, 3 really
meant showing up :(
2 more points:
1/ I share Scott's wish of making the decision after Minneapolis,
though I see the point Tony made (planning ahead, etc)
2/ the least to say about the interim dates and location is that, as a
*personal* view, it is prohibitively expensive for US academic people
to attend (dates, travel time, travel expenses)
and such difficulties could impact participation, hence the outcome.
