[Mustapha Mokrane]

Dear Matt,
Thank you very much for your email and the attached list of specs for the
venue selection. We are working under tight deadlines indeed and we greatly
appreciate your efforts to contact the venues as soon as possible.
I have reviewed the document and made some additions (in track changes so
you can easily identify these). I also added comments for clarification.
The main additions are an extra room on Sunday 11 September for the the WDS
Members Forum and a meeting room on Friday 16 and Saturday 17 for the WDS
Scientific Committee meeting.
As far as we discussed, SciDataCon will run for two days (Monday and
Tuesday) with the preceding Friday, Saturday Sunday used by CODATA and WDS
(and maybe RDA) for their pre-meetings (for e.g the CODATA General Assembly
and WDS Members Forum). Wednesday will be a joint IDW Forum co-organized by
RDA, CODATA and WDS. The RDA Plenary should run on Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, but please confirm with Kathy.
Best wishes and I am really looking forward to work with you and your team
over the coming year.
Mustapha
