Hang on!
"We confirm LA as the location in order to make it easier for interested Board members to join the meeting. “
The way I understand it, LA was considered to enable a (public but bilateral) exchange with the board on our proposal and their additional/alternative ideas. The above text suggests that’s not going to happen. If I read that correctly, I feel that flying the whole CCWG to LA to (only) “make it easier for interested board members to join” is not a sound decision.

We would now like to confirm that we will be holding a CCWG meeting on Sept 25-26. Certainly, remote participation will be possible. While we will work on an agenda with you as we get closer to the meeting, it became apparent from comments received that a f2f meeting will be useful: •to continue the analysis of comments in sub-teams; •work on finalizing our consensus recommendations; •advancing the documentation and writing up the rationale for our recommendation as well as; •confirm the messaging and presentation of our recommendations so they can be understood more easily. We plan to have comms and graphical experts from Xplane on site. We confirm LA as the location in order to make it easier for interested Board members to join the meeting.
