[802.3_DMLT] Update on CERN tour July 19 802 meeting: SOLD OUT
The tour of CERN for IEEE 802 members
http://www.ieee802.org/1/files/public/docs2013/admin-cummings-cern-tour-july-geneva-0513-v3.pdf
has sold out of all 48 seats. Thanks
to everyone who registered. I am looking forward to a fun and interesting
tour with everyone.
There has been one change to our original
plan. Although the CERN canteen is a great lunch venue, it turns out that
it is too small to accommodate 48 people simultaneously. In addition, our
host (Maciej Lipinski) and I were a bit concerned that three hours might
be too limiting for a tour of multiple sites (including bus travel time).
Therefore, we adjusted the plan as follows:
Original plan:
CERN tour: 9:00-12:00
Lunch at CERN canteen: 12:00-13:00
Charter bus departs for downtown Geneva: 13:00
Arrive ITU building downtown (worst-case): 13:45
New plan:
CERN tour (extended): 9:00 - 13:00
Charter bus departs for downtown Geneva (for those people that need to
keep original schedule): 13:00
Smaller groups can take lunch at CERN canteen, and/or tour exhibits at
reception area: 13:00-14:00
Charter bus departs for downtown Geneva: 14:00
The new plan allows people to keep to
the original schedule for return to ITU, although it does require a later
lunch (sorry about that). For those with a schedule that allows more time
at CERN, you can stay for a later lunch at the canteen, as well as visit
exhibits in that area. I am scheduling two trips between CERN and downtown
to accommodate both groups of people. If you decide to stay longer than
14:00, there is a city tram available as well.
I realize that I will not reach all
registered attendees with this email, so I will communicate this change
of plans on the bus as we prepare to leave in the morning of July 19.
David/Adrian/Bob: Feel free to forward
this to your working groups as you see fit.
Thanks again everyone,
