Subject: UBL TC meeting in Brussels 22-26 May 2006
Hello UBL TC, Our next f2f is finally confirmed for the week of 22-26 May 2006, hosted by CEN/CENELEC at its headquarters in Brussels. Thursday of that week (25 May) is the Feast of the Ascension, a bank holiday in most of Europe, so the CEN/CENELEC offices will be closed that day, and the TC will have to make separate arrangements for work sessions. As we decided at our meeting in Manhattan, Mavis Cournane will chair the Brussels meeting. I expect that we will be working out details of the agenda as we move through the UBL 2.0 review cycle. In the meantime, however, all members planning to attend the meeting in Brussels are urged to make hotel arrangements as soon as possible. For information about the meeting venue and a list of hotels with special rates for CEN/CENELEC meetings, see http://www.cenorm.be/cenorm/aboutus/information/visiting+us/index.asp Our host, Alain Dechamps, recommends that you request the rate for "meeting in CEN/CENELEC," and has this to say about the location: CEN is not really 'Down town', it is 20-25' minutes walk (5-10 minutes via metro). So it depends what you want, if you prefer to be close to the Grand place or to the old fish market it is preferable to book down town. In the other hand CEN is close to an upper class shopping area which might interest some people. Argus and the NH Brussels City Centre are in the CEN surrounding (Argus is closer). Other groups meeting at the CEN/CENELEC offices have recommended the Argus as the hotel most convenient to the meeting site. As usual, members are requested to share their reservation experiences and final choice of hotel with the list. Jon
