        Title:  Venue & second call for WG2 Meeting # 28 in 
        Helsinki, Finland, 16 - 28 June 1995

        Action: WG2 members should make plans to attend
        Distribution:   ISO/IEC JTC 1 /SC 2 /WG 2 members

This is the second call for the next WG2 meeting # 28, which will be 
held in Helsinki, Finland 26-28 June 1995.  The meeting will precede 
the SC2/WG3 meeting and the SC2 plenary meetings which are to be held 
on the same site.  All meetings will be hosted by the Finnish Data 
Communication Association (FDCA).

The objective of this meeting is to continue WG2 program of work and 
adopt resolutions on repertoire contents and allocation of code space.  
Since the SC2 plenary follows the WG2 meeting then I expect that all 
pending WG2 resolutions will be resolved at the SC2 plenary.  I will 
also prepare a WG2 report on our program of work during the last two 
years which will be distributed in time for the June meeting.  I will 
post the agenda of the meeting in the few weeks to the SC2/WG2 ftp 
site in Denmark.

It is necessary to make your own hotel reservations and arrange your 
own flights.  A block of rooms have been reserved.  Please refer to 
the "JTC1/SC2" or to the host "FDCA" when making your reservations.

The meeting will start at 9:00 am on 26 June at the following hotel:

        Unitas-Opisto (Unitas Training Center)
        Ramsinniementie 14
        00980 Helsinki, Finland                 

           Reservation Phone:  + 358 0 319 1445
           Hotel Phone:        + 358 0 319 11
           Fax:                + 358 0 319 1400
  
The meeting center is about 10 km east of the center of Helsinki 
and about 20 km from the airport.  


The rate is FIM 370 per day (about US $ 85.00) which includes 
accommodation for a single room, breakfast and lunch at the 
restaurant.

It should be noted that at that time most people in Finland have 
started their summer vacation.  The mid summer festival is 
celebrated just before the meeting, on the night of June 23 to 
June 24.  The weather is normally nice and warm at that time with 
the temperature fluctuating between 20 and 30 degrees centigrade.  
Hotel services at the meeting site are very minimal before Monday 
26 June, but the FDCA has offered to help check people into the 
hotel when they arrive before Monday 26 June.
