Dear Mrs. Garner:
The Microsoft Office product
development organization would be pleased to host the next JTC1/SC2 Plenary
meeting and JTC1/SC2/WG2 meeting in Redmond, WA in April 21st
– 25th 2008 and to offer the following provisions:
Meeting Rooms
Microsoft Office will reserve one large meeting room
for up to 40 delegates. Ad-hoc session rooms can be arranged if the need
arises.
Clerical support and Copying
The Microsoft Office team will provide clerical support
as well as access to a printing & copying facility. Participants will
be able to use their laptop computers during the meeting. Wireless Internet
access will also be available.
Catering Service
Morning and afternoon coffee and refreshments will
be available free of charge. Microsoft may also provide additional catering
service for the meeting (not yet finalized). In all cases, lunches and snacks
will be available for a modest fee through a corporate campus cafeteria near
the meeting room.
Hotel Accommodations
Microsoft will provide a list of hotels in Bellevue
and Redmond close to the meeting facility. The Microsoft Redmond facility
can easily be reached either by private transportation or by bus from the
Bellevue or Redmond downtown areas (15 minute ride). Maps from the airport
to Bellevue and to Redmond will be provided to the SC2 secretariat for posting.
Staying in Seattle proper is also an option for participants, but we don’t
particularly recommend it, due to heavy commute traffic between Seattle
and Redmond.
