I guess Saturday late  evening is probably   the best idea, given  how
many people will probably be away on Sunday night.  Some will arguably
depart  on Saturday night, but doing  it while the conference is still
running seems difficult.

Personally  I will  be leaving  on Monday morning,   so for me  either
option is fine  - assuming, of course,  the meeting is not reserved to
those who actually organized WOS4.

Cheers,
