	<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 2012. The exact meeting dates are:</p>
	<ul>
		<li>C++: Monday, October 15 through Friday, October 19</li>
		<li>C: Monday, October 22 through Friday, October 26</li>
	</ul>
	<p>The meeting venue is:</p>
	<blockquote>
		<p>DoubleTree by Hilton Hotel Portland<br />
			1000 NE Multnomah St.<br />
			Portland OR 97232<br />
			<a href="http://www.portlandlloydcenter.doubletree.com">www.portlandlloydcenter.doubletree.com</a></p>
	</blockquote>
	<p><strong>Please do not make reservations by contacting the hotel directly.</strong>
		Instead make your reservations at: <a href="http://www.seeuthere.com/CStandardCommitteeMeetings">
			http://www.seeuthere.com/CStandardCommitteeMeetings</a></p>
	<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 (<a href="http://trimet.org/schedules/maxredline.htm">MAX</a>),
		which runs from about 5:00 AM to midnight. It is about a 25-minute ride, at a cost
		of USD 2.40. The DoubleTree is also in Portland&#39;s <a href="http://trimet.org/fares/freerailzone.htm">
			Free Rail Zone</a>, in which the light rail and streetcars are free. So the
		heart of downtown Portland is just a 10-minute free train-ride away.</p>
	<p>It would also be practical to rent a car. The hotel has free parking; their web
		site has driving directions.</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 134.00 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.seeuthere.com/CStandardCommitteeMeetings">
			http://www.seeuthere.com/CStandardCommitteeMeetings</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 this hotel.</strong> Please register by September
		14.</p>
	<p>For those making room 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;
		the card will not 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
		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>
