Phil, That primarily refers to long-distance travel (planes and trains). In terms of local travel (i.e., driving and local mass transit and commuter transit), day of Thanksgiving is an immense travel day (and 90% of Thanksgiving travel is local travel). So, this will very much interfere with travel and preparation (cooking) on "turkey day" for many of us. I'm sure that our families will understand....

To add to Paul's concern, more Americans travel on the day before and after Thanksgiving (11/26 this year) to gather with friends and family than any other day of the year. Scheduling a call that day, or the day before or after, will make it impossible for many US participants in the CCWG to join the call.

Really? You are going to have a critical review call on Thanksgiving day? I know this is a bit US-centric of me but this goes beyond the bounds of my tolerance. I have no standing to object, but this is pretty close to the border of being deliberately exclusionary.
