stds-802-16: Session #33 site selection



Dear IEEE 802.16 Participants:

At the Closing Plenary of Session #30 next month, I will be 
scheduling agenda time to select a site for Session #33 in September 
2004.

We discussed this issue initially at Session #29. As noted in the 
session minutes
	<http://ieee802.org/16/docs/04/80216-04_05.pdf>,
there was little support for joining an 802.11/802.15 interim in 
either of the two proposed cities: Berlin or Sydney. The 
802.11/802.15 interim is now planned for Berlin on the week of Sept 
13. I suggest that, if we meet separately, we avoid those dates. I 
believe that the week of Sept 6 would be best. The week of Sept 20 
could also work.

In Vancouver, we asked for suggestions from the membership regarding 
possible venues. The following suggestions were made:

  * Busan, Korea (suggested by Panyuh Joo)
  * Montreal, Canada (suggested by Frank Draper)
  * London, UK (suggested by David Castelow)
  * Tokyo, Japan (suggested by Aditya Agrawal)

If you are interested in hosting Session #33, you should prepare a 
proposal, as detailed in Clause 10 ("Site Selection") of the IEEE 
802.16 Interim Session Guidelines:
	<http://ieee802.org/16/docs/02/80216-02_30.pdf>.

Those guidelines will also provide you with the information you need 
to plan a session. Note that the attendance figures in the guidelines 
are a bit low based on recent attendance; we had 130 people in 
Vancouver. Some of the other details may also be a bit out of date. 
Please feel free to contact me if you need any more information. I'll 
be happy to answer questions.

Regards,

Roger
