[Cesg-all] ACTION REQUESTED: Very important information regarding your Working Group Meetings.

[Jean-Luc.Gerner at esa.int]

Debbie,
For three years now, internet connections have been available in the CCSDS
meeting rooms. They have revealed to be extremely usefull (exchange of files
in real time, access to CCSDS documents, ...) and contribute greatly to the
efficiency of the work. Efficiency is particularly necessary at this Spring
session which offers only 4 days work to the Areas against the usual 5 days.
If each individual has to register and pay a fee for a connection, it will
result in huge logistics problems, given that with several agencies no
mechanism exists for reimbursement of such costs.
I believe that the OMG, who accepted to host CCSDS in Athens, should provide
us with those tools which are considered as basic nowadays for normal work.
Internet connection is one of these basic tools.

Best regards

Area Directors and Working Group Chairs,

All of the meeting information I haved received from you is now posted to the
Spring '05 Information Calendar.

VERY IMPORTANT NOTE:  Please note that there are TWO Calendars on the new
www.ccsds.org website. One lists specific Spring 2005 meeting information and
the other calendar includes other non-CCSDS Meetings (and does NOT have the
detailed, specific Spring 2005 Meeting info.)

When you are looking for your meetings, please be sure you are looking at the
Spring '05 Information Calendar.

Please, at your earliest opportunity, go to the CCSDS Registration Form to
see a complete listing of your meetings schedules.  This is the easiest way
to see all of the meetings and when they are scheduled:
http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2005SpringReg.aspx.

Please review the meeting dates and times of all your meetings.  If there are
changes to be made, please e-mail me the updated information immediately.
Some of the information I have received does not include specific
information. Where it had AM, I listed 9-12noon.  Where it had PM, I listed
1-5pm.

Also, please visit the Meeting Agenda area.  If you do not see your agenda
posted, it is because I do not have it yet. Please e-mail me your agendas as
soon as possible.  Please note that some agendas require more specific
information.  Also, I am in the process of updating some agendas with dates
and times that I have just received.

With regard to the specific meeting rooms, OMG Staff asked me to inform you
of the equipment that comes in the meeting rooms:

Data Projector

Projector Screen

Electrical connection for laptops

Please note that there is no internet connection in the meeting rooms. There
will be an additional fee for internet connection, so please let me know as
soon as possible if you require internet connections and how many.  (There
will be an internet café at a specific location at the hotel.)

There are no overhead projectors nor flip charts. (There is an additional fee
for this.)

No conference call capability.  There is an additional fee for this and you
must arrange for the call yourself.

Meeting room assignments will be finalized by the OMG Staff as soon as they
arrive in Athens.  Meeting Room Names will also be posted at the Marriott
Hotel. Also, OMG will have a Registration Table for CCSDS and OMG attendees.
Information packets, Meeting Room Names and name badges will be given to you
when you register there.

If you have any questions, please e-mail me directly and as soon as possible
and I will answer your e-mail promptly.

It does take time to make all of these changes to the website, so thank you
for your patience.

Sincerely,

Debbie
