Details</strong></a></h3>

<p>A block of rooms have been reserved at the Royal Sonesta Hotel at a
discount rate of $130 (plus tax) per night, single/double occupancy.&nbsp;
The discount rate will be offered from <strong>Sunday, 25 February through
Saturday, 3 March 2001.</strong>&nbsp; High speed Internet connections are
available in guest rooms for a flat rate of $10.00 per night. <em>(Laptop
computers</em> <em>must be 10baseT equipped</em>.<em>)</em>.</p>

<p>The W3C will host a reception Wednesday evening, 28 February from
18:00-20:00 at the hotel.&nbsp; Beverages and light hors d'ourvres' will be
served. We encourage folks to take this opportunity to meet working group
members from other W3C groups.</p>

<h3><a name="TransportationDetails"><strong>Transportation
Details</strong></a></h3>

<p><a href="http://www.massport.com/logan/">Logan International Airport</a>
is the closest international airport to the meeting site.&nbsp; The Royal
Sonesta Hotel is located three miles from Logan.&nbsp; The travel time
between the airport and the hotel (meeting site) will vary between 30 minutes
to one hour depending on traffic conditions.&nbsp; Taxi fares will range
between $18.00-$28.00.</p>

<p>Please Note:&nbsp; All events will take place at the hotel. There is a
large shopping mall, The Galleria, across the street so you will not need a
car during the week.</p>

<p>There is a major road construction project going on in Boston called the
"<a href="http://www.bigdig.com">Big Dig</a>."&nbsp; For this reason, we
recommend taking a taxi or public transportation rather than renting a car.
If you prefer to rent a car, all major car rental companies have locations at
Logan Airport (Avis, Budget, Hertz, etc.).</p>

<h2 id="Agenda"><a name="Agenda1">Agenda</a></h2>
