ATTN: 	All IEEE 802 Attendees

SUBJ: The Hyatt Regency St. Louis is now Sold-Out !!!

Overflow rooms are now available nearby at Great Rates !!!

Important information for all potential 802 attendees:

a) The Hyatt Regency Union Station in St. Louis, Missouri is the 
primary site for the March 2002 IEEE 802 Plenary Meeting (except the 
802.17 RPR WG will be meeting all week at the Sheraton City Center - 
4 blocks away). The Hyatt has been SOLD-OUT but many of the 802.17 
attendees will be switching over to the Sheraton, so we expect 
several openings at the Hyatt shortly. If you don't have your room 
reservation confirmed yet, please contact the Hyatt directly at (314) 
231-1234 and request to be put on the IEEE 802 Wait-List. This group 
typically has many late cancellations, and the hotel will contact you 
as soon as a room becomes available. You may also wish to call the 
hotel during the week prior to the start of the Plenary Meeting to 
check the status of your reservation request. The IEEE 802 group rate 
at the Hyatt is $139/night for single/double/twin occupancy plus 
taxes. Hyatt room reservations may be canceled without penalty up 
until 6pm of your arrival date.

b) Due to the Hyatt being sold-out, we have blocked some additional 
guest rooms at the Drury Inn and the Hampton Inn nearby. They are 
located within 1-2 blocks of the Hyatt. We have arranged the 
following discounted IEEE 802 group room rates: Drury Inn - $114.00 
single/double occupancy plus tax; Hampton Inn - $110.00 single/double 
occupancy plus tax. You must guarantee your reservation with a credit 
card or a deposit. You may cancel without penalty up until 6pm of 
arrival date. Check-in time is 3pm, check-out is 12 noon and both 
provide free parking for hotel guests. Rooms at both properties are 
limited, so make your reservations ASAP !!!
