Dear all,
first of all I would like to join Christian in his condolances especially to the victims' families, but also to all American colleagues for this terrible act. Though physically a US location was hit, but that is an essential part of our global village, so we have been equally hit.
At the same time, I think we have to work out some sort of emergency plans. In addition to restrictions imposed by companies such as reported by Ericsson, I personally do not expect, but it might be that flights to the US remain impossible for some time as the airspace and airports might remain closed, plus stranded people have to be brought home first, so by what time do we have to make a final decision to go ahead with the meeting, or to postpone, or to cancel it entirely? Next Wednesday, or so?

Hello Glen,
I have placed documents AVD-2120 to AVD-2127 in the Incoming directory of the pictel site, ftp://standard.pictel.com/avc-site/0109_San/.
Could you please place these in the 0109_San directory?
Due to recent events in the US, Ericsson's policy is that travel to the US is restricted until further notice. So at this stage I will not be attending the SG16 meeting. My sympathy goes to colleagues who may have been involved or affected by these events.
Regards, Christian
