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 main 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. I am looking forward to meeting with you in Geneva. Sincerely yours, Patrick Luthi

Hi, does anyone know of a method by which real-time subtitles could be added to an H.323 conference? Is there a recognised protocol or method, or is it in the H.323 roadmap? Any information gratefully recieved.

Survey on SG 16 trial for allowing early access to meeting documents
by simao.campos＠itu.int 19 Jun '08

19 Jun '08

<<SG16-080422-Survey-Raw-v1.doc>> Dear colleagues Apologies if you receive multiple versions of this message. As notified in SG 16 Collective Letter 9 (?5), we conducted at the last SG 16 meeting a trial for allowing access to documents before they are subject to the usual processing by TSB. The objective was to allow more time for company and national preparatory processes, while allowing TSB the necessary time to properly check, classify, format and post the received documentation. As we need to provide feedback to the Chairmen's meeting and TSAG, I would like to request your assistance in filling the attached survey (which will take you only a few minutes) and emailing it to tsbsg16(a)itu.int if at all possible before 26 June. All responses will be treated anonymously. Thank you for your cooperation. Simao Campos << SG16-080422-Survey-Raw-v1.doc >>

[itu-sg16] WP2 Meeting Dates
by Tyler Johnson 18 Jun '08

Does anyone know the exact dates for the Working Party 2 meeting of Study Group 16 in September? The ITU website and announcement seem to indicate only September 5, but I doubt it's a one-day meeting. -Tyler Johnson University of North Carolina
