John:
 
The meeting will be held at the main building of Federal the Ministry of the Interior:   
 
Alt-Moabit 101 D
10559 Berlin
 
First Floor, Room 1.074
 
It would make things easier for everybody, if I could get a more or less accurate list of those who will attend personally. We have very tight security measures here, and everybody who is not announced at the entrance has to be picked up personnally by us. Maybe those attending could send a mail?
 
And could you please find out, if somebody wants to connect to the video conference? This is urgent. If nobody wants to connect to the video conference we would use a much cheaper equipment. I have to make this decision before giving the order for renting the lines - only after having done that, I will be able to provide you with the numbers for dialing in.  
 
 
Best regards
 
Barbara

Barbara

As is usual with organising these committee meetings, it's very difficult to get responses from everybody about whether they are going to attend or not.    From the replies I have so far my best guess is that we will have between 10-15 people in Berlin and another 10-15 on the phone.   Not sure how many will want to video in but when I issue the agenda later today I'll ask them to contact you direct to make those arrangements.

I think we will hold to the published times for the meeting as we may have people from China, Korea and Hong Kong phoning in and for them it will be late evening.

Can you please send out next week details for the membership of where the meeting will be held and the phone number for dialing-in.

Adrian and I are flying over on Tuesday 22nd and it would be good to meet with you and Martin on Wednesday morning to discuss the meeting and areas of work that you could both help with.  Let me know if this is convenient for you.

Regards,
John

Thanks for this information.  I'll be finalising details for the meeting(s) in next few days and will let you know numbers etc attending in person and on phone/video.    I'll think again about starting times but as we now have members in China and Korea, I will have to balance their needs with those of the West Coast.   Not easy!

Regards,
John

Hi John:

here are some details about the technical requirements for the meeting:

- for the telephone conference everybody just needs a regular phone :-) we
will provide the number a few days in advance. However, since we have to
rent the lines, I would like to get an idea about many people intend to dial
in. Will you ask everybody?

- the video conferencing is a little bit more complicate. We are using a
system via ISDN according to the international standard H.320
The participants may choose between different bandwiths. Our technical
people recommend 384 kBit/s (or 6 ISDN-channels) for better quality in sound
and picture. We can also do with a lesser bandwith, for example 128 kBit/s
(or 2 ISDN-channels). Therefore we would like those who want to participate
per video conferencing to communicate us the system there using, and the
bandwith their prefer. We can arrange this individually. (I also need this
data to reserve the lines needed)
Just to be on the safe side, we would like to know the number they are
calling from as well as a regular phone number we could use to call them in
case we are experiencing problems with the connection.

- Another question the starting times of the sessions. If people from the
West Coast are participating we better start at 5 p.m. (9 a.m.) on their
side I believe. We even could start later, we have no technical or
organizational time limits. And Berlin is a city where the evenings (and the
dinner) start rather late.


Concerning accomodation, here are some hotels:

Tiergarten Hotel http://www.hotel-tiergarten.de/ 82,00? single room / night
incl. Breakfast - when booking you may refer to the Keyword "OASIS". It is a
simple hotel located in relatively short distance to our Ministry.  Our
Ministry is about two or three Subway stations away from the central
neighborhoods in the East and West of Berlin. There is a bus going directly
from Tegel Airport to the Ministry.


SORAT Hotel http://www.sorat-hotels.com/spree-bogen/ fur 99,- ? single room,
130,-? for a double (incl breakfast). This is for lazy people, because it is
locately just next to our Ministry. Please mention "OASIS" when booking.

Maritim pro Arte
http://berlin.nethotels.com/nethotels/deutsch/Hotels/pro_arte/default.htm#Ra
94.00 ? for a single Room, breakfast + 18,00 ?. This hotel is located in the
very center of todays culture and night life in Berlin. Direct subway
connection to the Ministry (three stations)

You may also just look at the following website for another hotel - also for
more tourist information:

http://www.btm.de/index.html.en

We only recommend that you book one which is located in the "Tiergarten"
area (close to our Ministry)or in "Mitte" (the new/old Center in the Eastern
Part of town) or maybe in "Charlottenburg" (Western Center, but make sure
the hotel is close to the street called Kurfurstendamm)

These are my informations for today

Best regards from Berlin

Barbara

Betreff: [egov] OASIS E-GOV TC MEETING



Our next TC meeting is scheduled for 23rd July with the face-to-face part
being held in Berlin.  We will be providing dial-in and may be video links
but more on that later.

I've spoken to the chairs of our sub-committees and they would like to hold
meetings of their groups on 21st and/or 22nd as precursors to the TC
meeting.

To help us and our hosts in Berlin plan the logistics and accommodation etc,
could you please let me know if you will be joining us in Berlin, and if so
on which days.  Replies by end next week please.

I would hope that most of our European members would be able to join us for
this one, but I appreciate it will not be easy for those from other parts of
the globe.  But the balance will shift for the next one in Washington in
Oct.  Thereafter - who knows?

Regards,
John
