Has there been a BOG meeting in Austin since 1977 or 1978, shortly
before the 1978 convention? That's when the legendary Buda party
occurred.
But, as has been noted, the BOG meeting lasts all day Saturday, and,
with transportation time, doesn't leave a lot of time for anything
else unless a BOG member wants to take Monday off work too.
RD called me about this question. Apparently there is a move afoot to
involve the board in a Sunday discussion about the future of the NSS
at its next non-convention meeting. (RD is chairman of the Long Range
Planning Committee, a thankless job if there's ever been one.) To the
extent that BOG members are willing to put up with that, it makes it
even harder to do anything else that weekend besides the BOG meetings--
and of course the Saturday night party. We talked about Austin as a
possibility, but the lack of direct flights to and from Austin would
add a couple of hours' travel time on Sunday and make it even harder
for BOG members to participate in a lengthy Sunday discussion. It
seemed to me that a city with better connections, such as Dallas,
Atlanta, or Chicago, would be a better bet for that meeting.
Aside from that, it certainly wouldn't be that hard to pull off a
meeting here in Austex, sometime. -- Mixon
