Schuyler, >I am not sure what the official MPEG rules are on this matter So far cancellation of ad hoc group meetings has been handled by chair-monitored consensus. Your argument makes sense and it is being used for other ahgs as well.

However, I have heard from a number of delegates and the summary is that experts from Sweden, Korea, Japan and Canada cannot make the Sunday AhG. Because of this, I have decided to cancel Sunday's AhG meeting on Unified Speech and Audio Coding. I am not sure what the official MPEG rules are on this matter, but I hope that delegates can support me on this and understand how pointless it is to proceed without key experts. There is no benefit of making presentations on Sunday, only to have to repeat them on Tuesday :-( I wish everyone save travel (or should I say struggle) to Dresden. Please keep me informed of your progress, particularly if you cannot be there on Monday or even Tuesday.
