Hi Will,

October sounds good to me, but four G/60s in one day is a lot.  When you account
for the inevitable delay between rounds, you're looking at 9 hours of chess.
Spread that out over a dozen time zones and some people are going to be
seriously inconvenienced.

I'd suggest two or three G/60s per day, but with a small time increment - maybe
5 seconds.  Maybe we could alternate, with 3 rounds on Saturdays and 2 rounds on
Sundays so we aren't all zombies at work on Monday morning.  :)
