Dear Experts, It looks like Q.1 will be meeting in Paris September 4-5, 2003 as announced. The Q.1 session will take place in serial mode with the other WP2 questions. I have received messages from several experts disclosing their intent to submit a contribution to the Paris meeting. Therefore, I will ask the SG16 management final permission to hold the meeting. I am looking forward to seeing you all in Paris. Best regards, Patrick Luthi Rapporteur of Q.1/16

Dear experts,

Q.D.F,G, 2-5/16 are planning to have a Rapporteur meeting in Paris, France during the week of September 2-5, 2003.

Q.1 had asked SG16 the permission to hold one interim meeting before the January SG16 meeting, but, since I have not heard of any potential contributions or interest from experts to attend this interim meeting, I would like to suggest that Q.1 does not meet at this time.

Please let me know by August 15, 2003 if you believe that there is a need for Q.1 to hold a Rapporteur meeting in September in Paris! Passed that deadline, I will inform the SG16 management and the host that Q.1 will not be meeting.

Best regards,

Patrick Luthi Rapporteur for Q.1/16
