<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I know
the fall of 2010 is still a long way off, but I am trying to break the habit of
a lifetime and get organised well in advance</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
made a provisional booking of rooms at the British Standards Institute building
to the west of London for the weeks of 25-29 October (technical working groups)
and 1-5 November (CESG/CMC/SC13 and possibly IOAG).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For
the first week, I have booked all of their small meeting
rooms.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There
are 13 small rooms, holding the following number of people; 12, 8, 14, 10,
20,12, 8, 22,12, 20, 24,14, 20.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
also booked one of their large meeting rooms, which holds 80 people, for Monday
morning and Friday afternoon for plenary meetings. We could get the large room
at other times if it was needed if we book early enough.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>For
the second week, I have booked a room that holds 20 people for the whole
week plus another 20 person room for the Monday for parallel meetings of CESG
and CMC/SC13.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Please
let me know if these rooms are inadequate in terms of capacity. I have booked
almost all the rooms that BSI has available and if there is a serious problem
then we would need to look for a different venue.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>I have
chosen the BSI venue as it is in London (which seemed popular with those who
asked me about location in Colorado Springs) and they are well served with
meeting rooms. If there was a demand, we could hold the meetings in the second
week at RAL, which is in the Oxfordshire countryside and is about 15 miles
south of Oxford. I am only suggesting this to provide a change of scene. The BSI
location will be perfectly adequate for the second week too.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
journey from BSI to the Oxford area is about an hour by car and slightly
longer if using underground+train (Paddington to Didcot or
Oxford).</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>One
slight problem is that the BSI offices are not available at the weekend, but
small weekend meetings could be held in hotels, or at RAL if we held the second
week there.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff
size=2></FONT></SPAN> </DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>The
BSI offices are in Chiswick, immediately next to the
Gunnersbury underground station. There are some hotels in the vicinity
(one is directly across the road) or you may prefer to stay more centrally in
London and take the underground to Gunnersbury. The underground takes 15-20
minutes; more if you need to change lines.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Please
say if you think the room availability at BSI is inadequate for the first
week.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>Please
say if you would prefer the second week to be held at RAL. The default location
is the BSI offices in London.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><SPAN class=937312814-29062009><FONT face=Arial color=#0000ff size=2>There
is no urgency to decide on the location of the second week, but it would be good
to settle it at the fall 2009 meeting if we have not done so
before.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
