For one thing, this is not for a formal plenary.  The term used in the 
CC minutes / discussions was a gathering, such as we had in Alameda not 
too long ago  The implication is that it would be more informal and that 
it would not be as highly attended as a formal plenary might be. Then, I 
may be wrong about the attendance.

Also, dates are very much open for discussion based on who can do what 
and when.

If we are serious, then we need to be tied into the planning as quickly 
as possible. It is getting late to make arrangements for a state-wide 
meeting in the early 1st quarter.
