I doubt that two weeks would work, given that people might have plans for this 
short term already.

I think that is the quickest way to get kicked out there, and a hotel lobby is 
not a perfect place to work in the first place.

The critical thing is that someone needs to take over the organisation. The 
e.V. can surely help financially, but the board currently does not have the 
manpower to organise such a meeting.
