<h1>Portland meeting information</h1>
<p>Intel is pleased to invite the C and C++ standards committees to meet in Portland, 
Oregon, USA in October of 2006. The exact meeting dates are:</p>
<ul>
	<li>C++: Sunday, October 15 through Friday, October 20</li>
	<li>C: Monday, October 23 through Friday, October 27</li>
</ul>
<p>The meeting venue is:</p>
<blockquote>

	Portland Lloyd Center<br />
	1000 NE Multnomah St.<br />
	Portland OR 97232<br />

	<a href="http://www.portlandlloydcenter.doubletree.com">www.portlandlloydcenter.doubletree.com</a></p>
	<p><strong>Please do not make reservations by contacting the hotel directly.</strong></p>
	<p><strong>For reservations:</strong>
	<a href="http://www.b-there.com/arm/cstandardmeetings2006">www.b-there.com/arm/cstandardmeetings2006</a></p>
</blockquote>
<p>The DoubleTree is about 7 miles from Portland International Airport (PDX), near 
downtown Portland.</p>
<p>The most convenient way to get from the airport to the hotel is to take Portland&#39;s 
light-rail system (MAX). It is about a 25-minute ride, at a cost of USD 1.95. It 
would also be practical to rent a car. The hotel has free parking; see their web 
site for driving directions.</p>
<p>The DoubleTree is also in Portland&#39;s Fareless Square, in which public transportation 
is free. So the heart of downtown Portland is just a 10-minute free train-ride away.</p>
<p>The meeting will be held in the Executive Meeting Center, which is a premium 
meeting facility, providing:</p>
<ul>
	<li>high-speed wired and wireless Internet access</li>
	<li>continuous refreshment service throughout the day</li>
	<li>ergonomic chairs</li>
	<li>tables with built-in power and network outlets</li>
	<li>full A/V facilities, including LCD projectors and microphones</li>
	<li>dedicated service staff and full business center</li>
</ul>
<p>High-speed Internet access will also be available in all hotel rooms.</p>
<p>The room rate will be USD 135.00 per night; this will include no meals. To obtain 
that rate, <strong>reservations must be made through this web site:</strong>
<a href="http://www.b-there.com/arm/cstandardmeetings2006">www.b-there.com/arm/cstandardmeetings2006</a>. 
Also, the meeting rooms are in a secure area; access is by card-lock. Each attendee 
will have his own card-key; to ensure this, <strong>all meeting attendees must register 
at this site, including those who will not be staying at the hotel.</strong> Please 
register by September 29.</p>
<p>For those making reservations at the DoubleTree, the web site will ask for a 
credit card number. Your card will be used only to guarantee your hotel reservation; 
in particular, the total indicated on the page requesting the card number will
<strong>not</strong> be charged at registration time.</p>
<p>In October in Portland, a typical temperature range is about 64-45&deg;F (18-7&deg;C). 
Unfortunately, October is the beginning of the rainy season, but heavy rains are 
very rare in Portland; typical rainfall in October would be less than 0.1 inches 
per day (2 mm).</p>
<p>If you have any questions, please contact the host:</p>
