I presently oppose having interims [1], but in case the WG decides to 
have one anyway...

My preference is for earlier that week, particularly Tuesday or 
Wednesday, 26-27 June.  Following up on Randy's suggestion, the week 
of 9 July is also fine, with a slight preference for Tuesday-Thursday. 
I had said back in March that I would not be available on 29 June [2] 
-- there's a chance that could change, but I'd still rather pick a day 
that I can commit to, like the Tuesday or Wednesday.

I don't care.  I've previously suggested that we have an all-virtual 
meeting as a forcing function on the technical issues[2], but many of 
those issues involve getting audio to/from the room with many people 
in it, so an all-virtual meeting may not all that useful as a forcing 
function.
