Dear WG5 coworkers, 

at the last meeting in Tokyo, I proposed to host the next meeting 
in Dresden, the capital of Saxony, where I have been teaching at 
the Technical University for a bit over a year now.  All the 
"behind-the-scenes" talk seems to have resulted in a preferred 
date for that meeting: 

   September 9 - 13, 1996   in Dresden 

Since we will have to arrive at a decision soon - certainly by the 
end of the San Diego WG5 meeting - I would like to ask all potential 
attendees to please send me a short note indicating 

   a. What is the likelihood that you will be able to attend this 
      meeting, independently of the exact date?  

   b. Will the proposed date make it impossible or more difficult 
      for you to attend?  

If many people have problems with this date, we may be able to meet 
a week earlier.  Later seems to be out of the question because the 
X3J3 meeting has to be the following week, and that will already be 
extremely close to the SC22 Plenary.  

One other piece of information that would also be very useful for 
me in making arrangements is whether a good "standard" hotel in 
the center of Dresden at about 150 Deutsche Mark (approx. 100$) 
for a single is too costly?  There are alternatives, starting 
at about half that price: bed & breakfast, small hotels just 
outside the city, and a simple, but nicely refurnished hotel/
guest house (near the center) without running water in the rooms 
(all facilities available on every floor).  

Dresden and its surroundings have a lot to offer historically and 
culturally, so I am hoping that we will have some spare time to take 
advantage of some of that.  Both Berlin and Prague are about 2-3 hours 
away, by train or by car, so when you get bored with Dresden and the 
castles, you may want to go there as well.  I will try to give you 
some more concrete ideas in San Diego.  

Well, I hope to hear from you soon, see many of you in San Diego 
and at least as many in Dresden.  

With best regards, 

Wolfgang
