[USML Announce] USML - Draft Day dilemma

[Andrew R. Klein]

I'm available.  As noted before, I have a flight out of Indy on the 14th, so I'd prefer a draft on the evening of Friday March 12 or a very early start on the 13th so I can drive home right when we're done.

  Gang:

    In reading through the e-mail, it seems like almost every weekend will pose a problem of one sort or another.  But whatever the solution is going to be, we have to implement it fast so people can start planning.  I have not even checked my own calendar to see if I am available the weekend of March 13 (I didn't even know that date was on the table?), but I think everyone should promptly weigh in with their availability for that weekend.

    I would propose the following, assuming that most people are available on the weekend of March 13: (1) we set a draft date on that weekend, but (2) keep open the evening of April 2 as an alternate date for now in case the SBC strike is averted well in advance (probably a long-shot, I know) -- far enough in advance to give out-of-towners time to adjust.  If the draft must be that weekend of March 13, I would suggest either a Friday night or a Saturday a.m.  I have a trial in Michigan that starts on Monday, March 15 (Mark/Jim: its against SBC, so I know you guys will understand).

    Please try to respond quickly; we can set a date and then deal with the attendant problems of drafting early and new rules proposals.
