> Dear All
> 
> Many thanks for volunteering to join the new TC.  I'm very glad to have
> you all on board for what I'm sure will be a very interesting, and very
> challenging, piece of work.  
> 
> First, some necessary domestic issues:
> 1.  Can those who haven't yet Subscribed to the Mailing Lists via the TC
> website please do so.  In that way we get the egov lists e-mail address
> properly organised.  Some of you may get this e-mail twice, apologies for
> that but I'm doing belt and braces for this first communication.  In
> future we will only send out to the egov list address so please make sure
> you've done the necessary.  
> 2.  Also we need to publish the Membership List on the TC website .
> Attached is the draft I've pulled together of your details.  Can you
> please check your entries and let me know if there any errors/omissions.
>  << File: TC Membership List.doc >> 
> 3.  Some of you have been confused about which is my correct e-mail
> address.  We are in the process of changing e-mail accounts and my new
> e-mail address from 16th December will be john.borras@e-envoy.gsi.gov.uk.
> You can use that address now and e-mails will get through to me despite
> the erratic error messages that may come back to you.  
> 
> Second, the arrangements for the first TC meeting.  As you will have seen
> we have set this for 13th December commencing at 10.00 EDT  (15.00 GMT).
> The face-to-face meeting will be held in the Baltimore Convention Center,
> Baltimore, USA, running in parallel with the XML 2002 conference.  See the
> following link for details of the Centre and hotels etc.
> http://www.xmlconference.org/xmlusa/ .  We will be providing a
> teleconference facility, further details to follow, for those who cannot
> make it to Baltimore, and for colleagues here in UK you can join Adrian
> Kent on the phone here in Stockley House if you wish.  To assist with the
> planning of this meeting can I ask you to confirm whether you will be:
>  i    joining me in Baltimore
>  ii   joining in via teleconference
>  iii  joining in via teleconference here in Stockley House UK.
> 
> Third, the agenda for the first meeting.  As I've said we are taking on a
> very challenging piece of work, given the wide scope of business conducted
> by governments.  In addition we will have the sheer logistics of trying to
> run this committee with people participating from all round the globe.
> Finding dates, times and locations to meet will not be easy.  And so I
> think the first meeting at least will have to concentrate solely on
> planning the organisation and running of the committee and its programme
> of work.  I therefore propose the following agenda:
> 
> 1.  Introductions
> 2.  Agreement of TC Charter
> 3.  Work programme
> 4.  Organisation of Committee and sub-committee(s)
> 5.  Election of officials
> 6.  Liaisons with other bodies
> 7.  Dates and locations of future meetings
> 
> I'm putting together a discussion paper covering items 3 and 4 and I'll
> endeavour to get that out to you in near future.  But in the meantime if
> you have views on this provisional agenda or any other items for inclusion
> please let me know.
> 
> I'll confirm final details of the first meeting and the agenda nearer the
> time, but in the meantime any thoughts on any aspect would be appreciated.
