19 Future Meeting Schedule

19.1 Authorization of adhoc meetings

The chair directed members to the T11 web site at http://www.t11.org/t11/meet.nsf/intmeet for the latest announce-
ments of pending work group interim meetings and teleconferences. He advised that authorization of ad hoc work
group meetings is delegated to the appropriate TG, if any.

The vice chair will account for these requests in the schedule for the T11 plenary week hosted by Molex and Jay
Neer in Deerfield Beach, FL, 2-6 February 2015.

19.2 Guidelines for hosting T11 meetings

The chair advised that important information for those considering hosting a T11 meeting week may be found on
the T11 web site at http://www.t11.org/t11/meet.nsf/host. This information includes guidelines for hosting a T11
meeting week and room night histories of past meeting weeks. This is required reading for those who are consid-
ering hosting because it summarizes the needs of the committee for meeting facilities and gives considerations
that may reduce costs for the host.

Groups arranging to meet with T11 were strongly advised to confirm with the host any changes in their needs for
meeting space well before the meeting. Failure to do so could easily cause serious inconvenience to the host
and/or the group.

Feb 2-6, 2015 Ft. Lauderdale, FL Molex Jay Neer

19.5 Next meeting information, hosted by Molex and Jay Neer in Deerfield Beach, FL, 2-6
February 2015 (T11/14-403v0)

The chair reminded the membership that the next T11 plenary week is hosted by Molex and Jay Neer in Deerfield
Beach, FL, 2-6 February 2015. He noted that detailed information about the hotel and the locale can be found on
the T11 web pages at http://www.t11.org/t11/meet.nsf/sch/$first.

19.6 Letter to travel representatives on hotel rates (T11/10-009v0)

The chair reminded the membership that

T11 plenary meetings are hosted by volunteer organizations;

A plenary host receives no reimbursement from T11 or INCITS for any expenses of hosting;
A plenary host may depend on agreements with the meeting hotel in order to reduce the expenses of the host
and also possibly, though not necessarily, reduce the room rates for the members; and
A hotel may charge punitive extra fees to a host if the meeting does not achieve an agreed number of room
nights identified with group members.

Therefore, T11 expects those attending meetings during a plenary week to stay at the meeting hotel and identify
themselves as members of the T11 group, even though less expensive lodging may be found in the area, or even
at the same hotel. Document T11/10-009v0 has been posted, which contains a letter to those with budget respon-
sibilities for member organizations justifying this obligation.

19.7 Plenary week meeting map for February 2015 T11 meetings

The vice chair presented the tentative meeting map of the next T11 meeting week. He advised members to refer to
the T11 web site, http://www.t11.org/t11/docreg.nsf/umap/$first, for the most recent meeting map of the next T11
regular meeting.

20 Final Attendance Notice/Check

The chair reviewed the electronically registered attendance list, advised that the list was about to close, and
reminded those who had not registered that the list would then become the only source of attendance for formal
records of this meeting.

organizations were in attendance.
