I call again for meetings run over the weekend. midweek to midweek.

1) cheaper hotel rates for attendees. weekends are cheaper.

2) less congestion in airports for flights. 

3) for Europe and Asia, attendance in the USA becomes a loss of two weekends
   (one either side) and for the Americans, NO weekend. This would be fairer
   for everyone, and mean we had a cheaper, more productive time.
