HOTEL ARRANGEMENTS
The meetings will take place at the Warwick Hotel, which is
also where members of the IPNB, LAB chairs and station managers
will be staying. We decided to use the hotel's facilities
for our meeting because we are able to get that space for
free if we use a minimum number of hotel rooms. The whole
package comes out much cheaper than any other arrangement
we could have made.
We encourage anyone coming to Houston for this meeting to
also stay at the Warwick...it will help us meet the required
number of rooms so we get the meeting space for free. You
should call the hotel directly, and tell them you are coming
for the Pacifica meetings so you can get the discounted rate,
which will be available for that Wednesday through Sunday.
The hotel's phone number is 1-800-298-6199.
If you stay at the hotel you will also be able to use the
Airport Express Shuttle buses from both Hobby (HOU) and Bush
Intercontinental (IAH) airports. Departure from the airports
is every half hour, with a round trip ticket for $36, one
way $40.
WEBCAST/BROADCAST OF MEETING
Plans are being made for the webcast of the entire meeting,
and all of the Pacifica stations have been asked to consider
broadcasting the entire meeting. As soon as all of these details
have been worked out we will send another notice with that
information.
A FINAL WORD
For those of you coming to Houston, a word about community
comment during this weekend. As you will see when you look
at the agenda, the IPNB has a great deal of work to do during
our time together. We have set aside some time on Friday evening
for community comment, and then again on Sunday morning during
the station reports. We will try, and I emphasize try, to
find more time through the weekend for community comment -
but we also must ask for your cooperation. The IPNB must have
the time for discussion and decision making on a number of
critically important matters. We hope we will have everyone's
understanding and cooperation. Thank you very much!
Leslie Cagan
chair, IPNB
