Subject: [ebxml-msg] New F2F Date proposal

Team,

	after yesterdays call, I have investigated rescheduling the Face
to Face in London Wednesday to Friday September 29 to October 1.  I have
identified a suitable location for the meeting with 2 possible hotels.
One hotel (Jurys Inn Islington) is almost opposite approximately 2
minutes walk (you have to cross a major road!) but it does not have High
speed access for approx 100GBP approx US $185 per night.  The second
hotel (Thistle City Barbican) is approximately 15 minutes walk but does
have full high speed access and is slightly more expensive as the
Internet access is not included, it is located between 3 different
underground stations so it is still a 5 minute plus walk to them, or a
short taxi ride with a miserable London Cabbie because it is only 5
minutes to the meeting. (London Black Cab drivers are wonderful people,
especially if you ask them to take you at least 15 miles!!)  Both of the
hotels prices are a bit erratic depending on where you look, direct,
expedia, London Hotel discount sites etc.
	If we want to go ahead with these dates and people express a
preference I'll see if I can arrange a small number of rooms for us.
	The meeting rooms will not have plug in internet access for
security reasons but I can arrange conference call facilities if we
need, a dedicated notebook PC which can access the internet and probably
dialup access.  I need to confirm as it depends on the exact room(s) we
use.
	The date will allow anyone wishing to attend the OASIS Adoption
Forum or TC meetings in Brussels to join the events together.

	Fianl note this is about as good a deal as we will get in London
until the new year as these prices will stay constant until Christmas
and will go up for occasional periods.
