Subject: Re: ISO Workshop on address standards, 25 May 2008, Copenhagen, Denmark
Dear Ram,
We are very disappointed to hear that you will not be able to attend the workshop on behalf of OASIS. We were looking forward to discussions with you on address standards, especially after your comments on the "Towards an international address standard" paper. In order to include OASIS in the discussions on an international address standard, would it be feasible to recommend another person from the OASIS CIQ committee to represent you at the workshop in Copenhagen?
Regards,
Serena

Hi Serena,
I do not have any financial support and therefore, it is unfortunate that I will not be in a position to
attend the workshop. Good luck with the workshop.
Regards,
Ram

Dear Ram,
Below an e-mail that went out to all the presenters at the ISO workshop on address standards. I thought I'd send it to you so that you are kept informed in case you will be attending. Have you had any feedback from OASIS yet?
On behalf of Working Group 7, Information Communities, of ISO/TC 211, Geographic information/Geomatics, I would like to thank you for accepting the invitation to present on behalf of OASIS at the workshop on address standards, coinciding with the upcoming ISO/TC 211 plenary meeting in Copenhagen, Denmark. We are excited to have confirmed presentations from the following countries and organizations: Australia, Denmark, Japan, South Africa, UK and USA, INSPIRE (Europe), ISO/TC211 WG on Ubiquitous geographic information, Universal Postal Union (UPU) and we are awaiting confirmation from ISO/TC 154 and OASIS. Below a few arrangements regarding the workshop:
1. Presentation title
Please e-mail the title of your presentation to Serena Coetzee at scoetzee@cs.up.ac.za by 21 April 2008 so that we can include it in the program.

As you know, we intend to publish proceedings of the workshop as a future reference. We would appreciate if your paper could include, but not be limited to, a viewpoint from the perspective of your country or organization on the first four bullet points listed as the purpose of the workshop (see also the attached invitation):
• What is an address? What is the definition of an address in the current address standard?
• What is the scope of the current address standard?

• Can we benefit from an international address standard?
Please use the attached document as a template for the paper and e-mail the final paper as a MS Word document to Serena Coetzee at scoetzee@cs.up.ac.za by 5 May 2008 so that we can include it in the proceedings.
