FW: [chairs] TC Meetings at the OASIS Symposium --Quick Reply needed-

Chairs,

Your early and active response is important to OASIS and our staff working on your behalf, please indulge us. As you’ve seen, we are quickly making final arrangements for the OASIS Symposium, this April in New Orleans. Following the TAB’s 2 day session on Reliable Infrastructures for XML will be the OASIS Plenary, a Networking Reception and 2 days of TC Meetings. Your participation, and the participation of your TC is *strongly* encouraged. But more important than your participation is your report of your intended participation so we can manage the event resources properly. Therefore, I ask your support in two ways.

First, please notify dee.schur@oasis-open.org of your TC’s intention to meet—to whatever extent you may know. You should tell Dee if your TC will, will not, or might be meeting and how many people you expect and how long you would like to meet. Also, note any TCs that you would like to meet jointly with, as well as any TCs you would not want to meet at the same time as. (i.e. your TC membership overlaps with another TC, therefore you must have 2 meeting times) Obviously, the better the quality of your input and the sooner we get it the better. But whatever the case, please give us your best guess now.

Second, encourage your participating members to register EARLY. Our week of events coincide with the New Orleans JazzFest. While this makes for a little entertainment after sessions, it puts a great challenge on our meeting and hotel facilities. So, everyone should register both for the OASIS events, but also for the hotel. The hotel only makes meeting rooms available in a ratio to booked sleeping rooms. Therefore, early registration for the OASIS event and hotel rooms will ensure we can meet your TC’s requests!

For additional event information, see http://lists.oasis-open.org/archives/members/200401/msg00004.html for the recent event announcement.

Thanks for your cooperation.  I hope to see you in New Orleans!
