Why we choose a location outside Boston/Cambridge

• Timing
• Mid-October is usual peak of autumn
  leaf-peeping season

• Attendees accustomed to traveling incremental
  extra distance to quieter, prettier settings
• Example US settings (Long Beach, Princeton,
  Keystone) have all been 1-hour drive from major
  airports
• Economy
• Room rate slightly lower, facility and catering
  rates significantly lower outside metro Boston
  area
• Leisure Activities/Spouse Program
• Sea kayaking
• Short cruises (scenic, fishing, whale-watching)
• Shops and galleries in Ogunquit Village
• Country club spa

TELSIKS 2005 (Summary)

• Organizers are requesting co-sponsorship with
  financial support.
• Review of budget indicates that would be a net
  loss of 3,900 with 2,340 charged to MTT-S.
• Organizers have been asked for additional details
  to justify budget but none provided to date.
• Recommend additional discussion to better
  understand basis of need with clarification of
  expenses and potential for grant rather than a
  loan.
• Recommend granting Technical Co-sponsorship.
