[governance] space on Nov.11th

[Carlos Afonso]

Hi Bill and all,

No need to change plans. What we did was just to make sure there is a 
room available. We will do the Latin American/Caribbean event in the 
morning anyway, and the room is available for the whole afternoon. Up to 
the caucus to decide how to use it, if at all.

Otherwise, I can just let the organizers know that the room will no 
longer be needed. Parminder?
