Dear Posix panel member,

	At the	November  Panel meeting I  was actioned  to write to all
	members  to remind them that the  UK has been asked to	consider
	hosting an ISO/IEC JTC1/SC22/WG15 (Posix) meeting.

	The purpose  of this  letter is  to ask  panel members	if their
	organisations	are   willing	and   able   to   offer  meeting
	accommodation to WG15 for one of the forthcoming dates:

	 either . 12th to 16th October 1992
	     or . 26th to 30th October 1992

		. March/April 1993
		. Spring 1994
		. Autumn 1994

	WG15 needs:
		. one room capable  of seating about thirty delegates in
		  boardroom style, complete with OHP and chalkboard, for
		  the week of the meeting.
		. three  breakout  rooms  capable  of seating up  to ten
		  delegates each for the first four days of the week.
		. access to a  photocopier  capable of accepting both A4
		  and US paper input, double-sided.
		. access to a fast,  reasonably  good quality,	personal
		  computer printer  would be  helpful.	 (Many delegates
		  prepare papers on portable PCs for presentation during
		  the meetings).
		. nearby  lunch facilities  are  required; delegates are
		  normally expected to pay for their own meals.
		. a supply of  coffee and tea, etc. nearby would be much
		  appreciated.
		. easy access to  local hotels,  and to an international
		  airport, would be an advantage.

	Some background  details are appended,	meanwhile thank you very
	much for your help.

				Yours faithfully,



				David Cannon, BSI IST/5/-/15 Convenor


	IST/5 (our parent BSI committee) agreed at its June meeting that
	it would  be appropriate  to invite ISO WG15 to  hold one of its
	1993 or 1994  meetings in the  UK,  either  March/April  1993 or
	one of the two meetings (Spring or Autumn) in 1994.

	WG15 resolved at its  Stockholm  meeting to  investigate holding
	'conjunctive' IEEE Posix and WG15 meetings at least once a year,
	in  order  to  improve	synchronisation  of  the  two  standards
	processes.  WG15 noted that there is an  IEEE meeting in  Europe
	from the  19th	to 23rd  October  1992,  to be held in	Utrecht,
	Holland.

	WG15 regards the  UK as being  sufficiently close  to Holland to
	permit a  'conjunctive'  meeting  and  therefore, if Holland  is
	unable to host WG15 as well as the IEEE,  the UK may be asked to
	host a meeting of WG15	adjacent to this IEEE meeting, either in
	the preceding  week  (12th to 16th October) or in  the following
	week, (26th to 30th October).
