[CMC] CCSDS Spring 2009 Meeting Registration is now open!

[Adrian J. Hooke]

Hosted by NASA, the CCSDS Spring 2009 meeting 
series will again be held at the Penrose House 
in 
<http://www.experiencecoloradosprings.com/>Colorado 
Springs, Colorado, USA.  The main technical 
meeting series will be held from April 20-25 2009 
followed by the management meetings which will be 
held from April 27-April 30 2009.

Full registration information is available at 
<http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2009Spring/default.aspx>http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2009Spring/default.aspx. 
Please check back frequently for updates as the 
detailed meeting agendas are developed.

As always, registration is free and attendance is 
open, but delegates to CCSDS working groups must 
be approved by their respective CCSDS space 
agency representatives.  Interested observers 
from other organizations - who have cleared their 
attendance with their national space agency - are 
also welcome. Please visit 
<http://public.ccsds.org/participation/member_agencies.aspx>http://public.ccsds.org/participation/member_agencies.aspx 
if you need to contact your sponsoring agency for approval to participate.

Once approved by your agency, the principal 
requirement for participating is that you must 
register and must indicate precisely which 
meetings you wish to attend. Please register 
on-line at 
<http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2009Spring/2009SpringReg.aspx>http://public.ccsds.org/meetings/2009Spring/2009SpringReg.aspx.

While registration at this CCSDS meeting is free 
YOU MUST REGISTER in order to attend any of the 
meetings. Total attendance is limited by the size 
of the facility and late registrants cannot be guaranteed a place.

You are also strongly urged to make your travel 
arrangements – especially hotel reservations - as 
soon as possible. Participants will be 
responsible for their own hotel reservations and 
there is a list of nearby hotels on the meeting information site.

Unfortunately, recent legislation imposed on NASA 
means that at this time NASA cannot provide food 
for attendees with NASA funding. Arrangements 
have been made for you to purchase coffee, snacks 
and lunches at the meeting site for $17.00USD per 
day. Please note that there are no other lunch 
options nearby, so to keep meetings from being 
disrupted, we encourage all attendees to sign up 
to purchase the on-site lunches and associated 
refreshments. To help us with projecting lunch 
needs, please select the lunch options on the registration site.

SPECIAL NOTE FOR  WORKING GROUP TECHNICAL EDITORS 
– TOM GANNETT WILL BE FACILITATING A SPECIAL 
“BOOT CAMP” ON EDITING REQUIREMENTS: SESSIONS 
WILL BE HELD ON FRIDAY 24 APRIL AND SATURDAY 25 
APRIL.  ALL TECHNICAL EDITORS ARE EXPECTED TO 
ATTEND ONE OF THESE SESSIONS AND ALL OTHERS ARE 
ENCOURAGED TO PARTICIPATE AS WELL.

Best regards
