This is the second call for WG2 meeting # 34, which precedes the next WG3 and SC2 Plenary meetings. The U.S. is hosting the meeting at the Microsoft Campus in Redmond, Washington. I am attaching the venue and logistic information one more time for those who need it even though it has been posted on the SC2/WG2 web site in document N 1656. Mr. Michel Suignard of Microsoft is the contact point for logistics. WG2 will be meeting starting at 9:00 am Monday, 16 March 1998 and conclude on Friday , 20 March 1998, at noon. The call for SC2/WG3 and SC2 plenary meetings will be issued separately.

This second call for WG2 meeting # 34, which includes a preliminary agenda, is being broadcast by email and posted to the SC2/WG2 website at URL: www.dkuug.dk/JTC1/SC2/WG2. Two of the documents in the last mailing were in error. N1633 was published with N1632 contents and N 1663 was not the most recent publication. I will post corrected versions of N1633R and N1663R, on the website and bring a hard copy to the meeting. I will try and send out next month a 3^rd mailing, which will include the corrected documents and copies of documents I received recently.

The objective of this meeting is to continue the WG2 program of work, on repertoire content and allocation of code space.
