Re: [802SEC] +++10 Day EC Email Ballot+++Geneva Site Visit Authorization



Hi Roger,

Yes we do have a network services contract that specifies an advance site visit. Yes, this would be that visit, and barring some unforeseen major change in the infrastructure at the facilities in Geneva, would be the only one they would need. The point of the estimate was to try to give a reasonable guess at the size of the budget required (which includes the network services/engineering portion as well).

Regards,
Jon

Jon,

I'd like to understand the network services aspect of this motion. Does our network services contract specify an advance site visit? If so, then is this it, or will there be a second network services visit as well?

Roger

 Background:
This motion was on the agenda (9.01 in the Friday Plenary meeting) in Waikoloa, but fell off the agenda. From slide 15 --https://mentor.ieee.org/802-ec/dcn/12/ec-12-0007-03-00EC-executive-secretary-agenda-items-march-2012.ppt

 •IEEE 802 July 2013 Plenary Session – Geneva, Switzerland
 •Why Face To Face Events should conduct a site inspection to Geneva?
•A properly conducted site inspection is a significant factor in ensuring a successful session. In particular when planning an event in a venue and location not previously used by the IEEE 802, the site inspection will accurately highlight both the positive and the negative aspects of a selected location that cannot be quantified by reviewing a facility's sales literature or meeting contracts alone. •Traveling to Geneva and meeting with the local ITU/CCIG/CCV representatives, will provide Face to Face Events the opportunity to evaluate all of the ITU/CICG/CCV facilities and services. The site inspection would include all the meeting space, meeting room layouts, network capabilities, AV/power requirements, F&B specifications, security, staffing( including special name badges coordination) , shipment arrangements and any other session considerations, including pricing and billing procedures. •By conducting meetings with facility representatives face to face we will be able to develop relationships that will be beneficial during final contract negotiations and onsite logistics as well as pinpoint potential problems and resolve them well ahead of the session, saving time and money. •Our site inspection experience and expertise act as invaluable tool in planning all aspects of the July 2013 IEEE 802 Plenary Session, we appreciate your keen consideration of this matter.
