Invitation meeting at DATE 2000
Dear all,

following the decision of the last meeting held at FDL, we will convene at DATE 2000 in Paris on

March, 27th, 2000, 19:00 - 21:00 at the
Paris, France
Palais des Congres.

Room to be annouced at the venue.

For details on the location, hotels, DATE 2000, please see: http://www.date-conference.com


At the last meeting agreement was found on the intended schedule of the voting procedure:

Experts review outcome to be published Friday October 15th.
Discussion until Friday Oct. 29th.
Voting until Nov. 12th, 1999.

Since the consolidated report of the reviewers has not been circulated yet, we are behind schedule. Hence the agenda of the meeting has to be defined in short term dependent on the state of the discussion. We should however, discuss the further procedure.

Just to remind you of the procedure we have agreed on up to now, I append the proposed process again.

Best regards,


Wolfgang
