I realize this is really close to Christmas, but the comments for the budget are due 13 Feb. and if we don’t start the discussion soon, it will be mid-January before we meet - and then have not a lot of time to develop a draft, allow for comments and then vote.

Otherwise - why?  I also note there isn’t much change in travel - but we are moving to 3 F2F meetings?   Also there is budget allocation for 29 people (or so it looks) for each of the 3 meetings (not sure why that isn’t 25 - who are the extra 4? - not a complaint, by the way)
