Preliminary agenda for UBL TC meeting in London

[Jon Bosak <Jon.Bosak@sun.com>]

As previously announced, the OASIS UBL TC will meet 28 April
through 2 May 2003 at APACS offices in London.  For your
convenience, hotel information and a map to the APACS facilities
are repeated at the end of this message.  UN/CEFACT ATG2 will also
meet in the same place in order to hold joint discussions with the
UBL NDR Subcommittee regarding some key design issues.

The preliminary TC meeting agenda is as follows.  Note that due to
our meeting location, the usual Monday opening plenary dial-in
will occur at a time better suited to distant callers in Asia and
the Pacific than to distant callers in the U.S.  We hope that our
members located in the Asia-Pacific region will take advantage of
this circumstance.

Dear UBL'ers

The recommended hotel for your visit to London to attend the F2F
meeting in April is as follows:-

Thistle Tower Hotel
St Catherine's Way
London 

The hotel is near the Tower Hill tube station. It is close to the Tower
of London, the Thames, and St Catherine's Dock (yachts and retired
Thames sailing barges). You can find a picture (the hotel is to the
right of Tower Bridge in the picture: it is not the bridge!) and other
details on www.thistlehotels.com/main/hotel/thistletower/index.xml BUT
PLEASE DO NOT BOOK DIRECT WITH THE HOTEL.

We have a block booking for 5 nights from Sunday April 27th through a
reservation company. Your individual bookings should be made through
them and NOT direct with the hotel. We have made them aware that some
individuals may wish to book further days on either side, for which I
suggest that you should be able to get a weekend rate. The price
arranged for the five weekday nights is £150 per night for single
occupancy of a double room, including VAT and full breakfast (a good
price for weekdays in London if you want a reasonable room). The agency
is:

EXPOTEL HOTEL RESERVATIONS
Tel:    +44 (0) 20 7372 2001
Fax:    +44 (0) 20 7624 4847
e-mail: events@expotel.com

You should quote the reservation number 11800538 and company code
APACS, asking for Emma or Nadine the group co-ordinator. To be sure of
getting one of the block booking rooms, PLEASE book at the very latest
by April 6th. Also please advise me as well as the agents, partly so
that I can keep an eye on booking numbers and also so that I can make
arrangements with our building security people. 

Please would anyone booking at a different hotel also advise me for
security arrangements to be made.

'bye for now...
