[Cesg-all] CCSDS ADVISORY: probable change, next CCSDS meeting

TO: CESG ADs and CCSDS WG chairs
     CMC
CC: Secretariat

Please be aware that it is now very probable that the "Fall 2006" CCSDS 
meeting will NOT be held in San Diego, but will be moved to Colorado 
Springs, Colorado, USA. The primary reason for this is the extreme 
difficulty of finding affordable hotel accommodation in San Diego.

The dates of the main CCSDS meeting are now proposed to be TUESDAY 16 
January through SATURDAY 20 January, 2007, with the CESG meeting on 23-24 
January and the CMC-ISO meeting on 25-26 January. (The meeting facility is 
not available on Mondays). The best-guess of the proposed schedule is as 
follows:

15 Jan:          Wireless workshop (offsite location)
16-19 Jan:       CCSDS WG meetings
20 Jan:          CCSDS WG meetings (AM)
20 Jan:          Area Plenaries (PM)
23 Jan:          CESG meeting
24 Jan:          CESG/CMC meeting
25-26 Jan:       CMC meeting
26 Jan:          ISO (PM)

NASA's preliminary plan is for the AIAA to host the meeting in the Penrose 
House at the southern end of Colorado Springs, 
http://www.elpomar.org/page.asp?pageid=0|6|51&id=0|penrose_house, which is 
where ISO/TC20/SC14 met in May 2006.

THIS INFORMATION IS FOR YOUR PRELIMINARY PLANNING PURPOSES ONLY AND IS 
SUBJECT TO CHANGE, SINCE NASA HAS NOT YET FINALIZED THE HOSTING ARRANGEMENTS.

Best regards
Adrian
