Dear members of WG8,

I have the pleasure to confirm the WG8/TF2 and WG8 meetings, to be hold in Tokyo, Japan. The schedule of both the meetings will be as of announced in SD3 (http://wg8.de/sd3.html) , i.e. TF2 from 3rd to the 7th of April (no meeting in the weekend on 5th and 6th) and WG8 from 8th to 11th of April 2008. The host Mr. Sakurai and our WG8 colleague Mr. Karibe were so kind to provide us with some organisational details and hotel information, see attached.

For better planning the room facilities you are kindly requested to register your attendance as soon you can. Do it please in the usual way and send your registration information to the addressees given in the attached host information, i.e. sakurai@jbmia.or.jp and shirator@jbmia.or.jp , and to the WG8 Secretariat (office@wg8.de).
 
Your registration e-mail is just a short notification and should at least contain the following information:
 
-    first name
-    last name
-    country which you represent
-    company address
-    on which of the TF2 and/or WG8 meetings days you plan to attend
 
Your registrations will be recorded by the WG8 Secretariat and considered in the WG8 attendance list, which are retrievable from the WG8 Members's Homepage (http://wg8.de/secure/index.html) or directly by clicking:
This file name will remain equal, even if updates will replace former versions. The list itself will contain version no. and date of issue.
 
The meeting agendas of the WG8/TF2 and WG8 meetings are contained in N 1423 and N 1412.  
 
Last not least, I want to inform you of a Liaison arrangement between SC6 and SC17. In my role as the SC17 Liaison Officer for SC6 I have the pleasure to prepare and organize a
 
SC6-SC17 Liaison Meeting on NFC and 14443
 
see N 1406, which will be held just prior to the WG8 meeting series, i.e. on the 1st and 2nd of April 2008, as well in Tokyo. That meeting is - as the standards are about - planned to investigate and prepare Liaison actions for a harmonization of NFC and 14443. You will be informed of further details about that meeting as soon as available.
 
Best regards,
 
Michael Hegenbarth
