You addressed this message specifically to Michal. But being a foreigner to most people on this list :-), I think I can answer this as well. Great plan! There is additional value in repeat performances that is rarely being discussed here. And going to places that we know will work takes a lot of uncertainty out of the planning, uncertainty that only generates more uncertainty (will X come to the meeting in this strange place? Is it even worth having a meeting if X isn't there and Y will have visa problems ...). So please do go ahead with that plan. (And please endure the kvetching -- the majority on this will be a silent one.) Grüße, Carsten PS.: And, yes, the Prague meetings have been great repeat performances.
