>minutes of our facilities (http://www.iol.unh.edu/):
>
>Durham, NH - There is the New England Conference Center plenty of space
>for 802.1 people to stay and meet. (http://www.necc.unh.edu/hotel.htm
>--- http://www.necc.unh.edu/conference.htm)
>Portsmouth, NH - Various hotels/conf. centers around to accommodate
>802.1 folks.

>The 10Gbase-CX4 SG just had an interim in Portsmouth and after the

>Other groups (PoE, EFM, I believe it was.) have even had meetings all

>Also advantages are:
>Biggest advantage is the lab resources of equipment and expertise; most
>of the active companies in 802.1 have memberships and equipment at our

>High BW - on OC-12 backbone with 10/100/1000 and Wireless access
>throughout the facilities.
>Projector systems, video recording, and electronic whiteboards (mimio:
