Attached is the invitation sent to ISO/IEC JCT1 SC22/WG14 committee members for the February 1997 meeting. The Hotel and Travel information can be found in this invitation. I would like to extend this invitation to the X3J11 membership. The Kona meeting is a very important meeting for C9X, this meeting will be that last meeting the committee will be discussing new language features. I feel it is very important for all X3J11 committee members to attend this meeting, we have alot of work to do before we send our Working Paper out for CD Registration. X3J11 wishes for the USA to extend an invitation for ISO/IEC JTC1 SC22/WG14 to hold a meeting in Kona Hawaii on February 10-14, 1997. The meeting would be co-located with a meeting of X3J11. Hotel and Travel The Royal Waikoloan (+1-800-325-7171. FAX 1-808-921-6849) Waikoloa, Hawaii, USA (on the "Big Island" of Hawaii) A block of rooms at the Royal Waikoloan has been reserved, at the special meeting rate of 99.15 USD per day single or double occupancy. The hotel is a 15-minute drive from the international airport in Keahole-Kona. (Please note that the island's other international airport, at Hilo, is far: several hours' drive to the hotel.) Non-stop flights can be made from San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Tokyo; otherwise, attendees should fly to Honolulu, Hawaii, and transfer to an inter-island flight to Kona. The airport is situated on a large, barren lava field. Attendees unfamiliar with Hawaii should not be alarmed by its appearance; the rest of this beautiful, mountainous island varies greatly in topography, from desert to rain-forest. Car rentals are available at Kona, arranged through the hotel for 25.00 USD per day, or through the usual USA car rental companies. The Big Island is rural and sparsely settled, so a car rental (or a friend with a car rental) is advisable but not essential; taxi service is also available at the airport, with no pre-arrangement needed. Arrangements for light breakfast and coffee breaks have been provided. Also, copying service will be available without cost to attendees. There will be no expense incurred by ANSI, the JTC 1 TAG Administrator, or the X3 Secretariat by the US hosting of this meeting Please contact Thomas Plum, who is the local host and local contact person, if any further information or organizational formalities are required. His name, address, phone, fax, and email address at provided below. Thomas Plum Plum Hall Inc, PO Box 44610, Kamuela HI 96743 USA tplum@plumhall.com TEL +1-808-882-1255 FAX +1-808-882-1556
