Subject: Hotel info for UBL reps in Vancouver
Hello UBL TC,
This forward is for a few UBL members who will be attending the
March UN/CEFACT Forum in Vancouver. I'm posting it to the whole
UBL list because I'm still not exactly sure who those members are,
and anyone planning to go needs to reserve hotel rooms NOW because
the preferred meeting rate runs only through 13 February.
I will be following up offline with the people who I believe are
planning to go.
Jon

Subject: IMPORTANT: Vancouver March 2006 MoU Meeting Infromation - ACTION REQUIRED
NOTE: PLEASE FORWARD THIS TO ALL WORKING GROUPS LIST FOR UN/CEFACT AND
ALL SIGNATORIES TO THE MoU and eBusiness MoU.
I have some announcements to make.
1. First - the Treasury Board of Canada has confirmed today that it
will pay the costs to host the rooms for the MoU, the eBusiness MoU and
the UN/CEFACT Forum meeting. This is very generous and we are extremely
grateful to Ed Buchinski, who was instrumental in organizing this along
with Gaetan Martineau.
2. Our website is now live. I would please ask you to forward this URL
to all your respective working group lists and also make a link to it on
any formal site discussing the Vancouver Forum meeting.
http://www.ebusiness-apps.com/uncefact/index.htm
We have to thank Andre Charland and Pam Chadwick from eBusiness Apps, a
Vancouver technology company, for graciously donating the resources for
this site to the UN and MoU signatories.
Delegates WILL need to register using the form on the site in advance.
We would like to have this done ASAP in order to ensure we are prepared
for the number of people. PLEASE NOTE: This is separate from
registering at the hotel - doing one does not do the other so you also
need to register your hotel stay (URL is below).
The site was prepared as well as possible given the information we had.
We realize there are some updates that will be available so please
visit back often.
The schedule is posted on the site although not 100% complete. There is
information to about the trip to Whistler and fine dining available in
Vancouver.
For any changes, please email myself (dnickull@adobe.com) and cc Pam
Chadwick (pchadwick@ebusinessapplications.ca).
3. Adobe Systems has agreed to sponsor some of the Coffee breaks.
4. SAP has agreed to sponsor the Lunch and Learns during the week PLUS
will also cover the hosting costs for the MRI room on Sunday March 12.
5. The hotel has advised me to post this page to allow you to make your
travel reservations now.

(cut and paste onto one line if it splits)
From this link, you can book your hotel rooms at a preferred rate only
until Feb 13, 2006. After that, the discounted rate will be no longer
applicable and you will pay full rate.
PLEASE:
Book your hotel rooms at the Bayshore. The Bayshore has been
*extremely* generous in providing favorable terms for the FMG, MoU and
CCTS meetings next year. It is also priced very competitively and you
will likely not find a comparable hotel for the same price anyways. The
Bayshore is very central to Vancouver and has the best waterfront view
of any hotel in the city. It is also adjacent to the nearby Stanley
Park.
6. A lot of people who you have never met in Vancouver are working very
hard to make this a good event. Nevertheless, we require more help. If
you are able to bring projectors to the meeting, this is a substantial
gain over having to rent them. One projector per room for 5 days can
cost over $3000. Given we have 13 rooms, the cost can excalate beyond
control.
Anyone able to bring some small networking equipment such as wireless
routers should please contact myself.
7. Carmen Turmer is coordinating the secretariat desk and reception
desk. She would appreciate everyone registering in advance for the
forum so we can provide name badges and have your check in experience
very quick. If you have any further questions, please contact Carmen
direct.
