this is most unfortunate...
I feel that the MIB was pretty close, and that there was a good
chance of reaching consensus at the amsterdam meeting...it seems
an almost done deal that the WG will be disbanded...

is the meeting definately cancelled...because I have to change
my travel plans and I won't be able to change them twice
(if a meeting is added back to the schedule)
