Dear All First of all, Let me wish you all Happy New Year and a more successful and productive 2012! I’d like to remind you of the deadline which is 4th January 2012 for indicating whether you will attend the WP2 Questions joint rapporteurs meeting during 20-24 February 2012, Geneva. We already received notifications from some experts, we’re looking forward to getting more in the next a few days. Thank you very much!

Previously, I sent out a meeting notice which looked like a formal meeting notice. I am sorry since it is not procedurally completely correct. I indeed wanted to combine several procedural steps together, but I realized it is not a good practice. So, I start from the beginning.(But of course, the information I put in the formal meeting notice is based on our previous communications with many experts). By sending this mail to you, Mr.Jeong and I, as WP2 co-chairs, request you to kindly feedback the following information as soon as possible(Ideally no later than 4th January 2012): [1]Do you plan to attend this meeting? [2]If you answer “Yes”to[1], then do you plan to submit some technical contributions?How many? With this information gathered and summed up, we can decide if there are sufficient degree of participation for this meeting to justify our request for SG16 chair’s formal approval of the meeting. Thanks a lot! Best Regards Noah

To prevent people or boys from registering bogus documents, my plan is to manually assign the AVD numbers. I will do this from time to time, but if you need a number immediately for reference purposes, ping me and I'll make the numerical assignment ASAP.

Early registration of your attendance is welcome and encouraged, but preferably before 10 February 2012 to facilitate the production of badges for all participants. People needing visa support letters (see below for requirements) should register as soon as possible. We would remind you that citizens of some countries are required to obtain a visa in order to enter and spend time in Switzerland. The visa must be requested and obtained from the office (embassy or consulate) representing Switzerland in your country or, if there is no such office in your country, from the one that is closest to the country of departure. If problems are encountered for ITU members, the ITU can, at the official request of the administration or company you represent, approach the competent Swiss authorities in order to facilitate delivery of the visa. Visa requests should be made by official letter from the administration or company you represent. This letter must specify your name and function, date of birth, passport number as well as the date of issue and expiry. The letter must be accompanied by a photocopy of your passport and a copy of the completed pre-registration form and must be sent to TSB, bearing the words "visa request", by fax (No.: +41 22 730 5853) or e-mail (tsbreg(a)itu.int).

Hotel Room Reservation ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Participants should contact the hotels directly regarding room availability and for making room bookings. However, they *MUST* use the ITU hotel registration form available from the ITU web site in order to be eligible for the special ITU rates. Hotels offering preferential room rates for participants of ITU meetings, instructions and the form are found at: <http://www.itu.int/travel/>. Note: the closest business-class hotel to the ITU buildings is the Intercontinental, and a more popular strategy is to obtain hotel accommodations downtown, e.g., near the Cornavin train & bus station (which is more centrally located than the ITU or the Intercontinental), from which buses run frequently to the vicinity of the ITU. Not all hotels are equipped with high-speed internet access, so participants may want to check with the hotel for the availability of this service. We are looking forward to meeting with you in Geneva.
