What are the dates of the WG6 meeting?

[Francis Cave]

Paul, thanks for pointing out my error, which also affects the
previously-announced time of the teleconference meeting on 2010-03-17. 

All, please note therefore that the times of our currently scheduled
meetings are as follows:

Teleconference meeting on 2010-03-17:

	14:00 - 16:00 UTC/GMT / 15:00 - 17:00 CET / 10:00 - 12:00 EDT

Stockholm meeting on 2010-03-25/26:

	2010-03-25: 13:00 - 16:00 UDT/GMT / 14:00 - 17:00 CET / 09:00 -
12:00 EDT

	2010-03-26: 08:00 - 12:00 UDT/GMT / 09:00 - 13:00 CET / 04:00 -
08:00 EDT

Our Swedish hosts have confirmed the availability of landline-based
teleconference facilities in the meeting room in Stockholm, so remote
participation will be arranged for both sessions, although obviously we
don't expect the same level of participation from North America for the
second session and the agenda will be drafted accordingly.

Francis Cave
Convenor, SC 34/WG 6
