I intend to be there however I note that PASC has no equivalent item on
it's agenda for the same time period.  I had thought that this meeting
was to be held "in conjunction with" PASC and not merely be co-located
in the same hotel during the same week.  I see little value in WG15 and
PASC debating the same issues independantly of each other and
potentially reaching very different conclusions.  The intention was to
provide WG15 members with an opportunity to influence PASC with respect
to this issue.  Am I missing something here?
