stds-802-16: details on Session #20
IEEE 802.16's Session #20 <http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg20> will
be held on July 8-12, 2002 at the Hyatt Regency Vancouver
<http://vancouver.hyatt.com>, Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada,
along with the IEEE 802 Plenary Session.
The tentative session schedule is posted
<http://ieee802.org/16/meetings/mtg20/agenda.html>. Note that,
following a decision of 24 May, the 802.16 Closing Plenary will be
held on Thursday evening. The only Working Group business on Friday
will be editorial. The 802.16 Opening Plenary will, as usual, begin
at 1 pm on Monday.
Though the agenda shows four 802 tutorial slots, none have yet been filled.
Pre-registration for the meeting, which results in a US$50 discount,
is now open.
Hotel reservations are always tight at these meetings. I suggest that
you reserve your room now. The deadline of May 31 is quite close, and
there is no guarantee that the rooms will last that long.
I am attaching logistical details below.
