The first face-to-face meeting of Legal XML will take place on September 17th, 1999 in Los Angeles, CA, following CTC6. Special thanks goes to the National Center for State Courts and Jim McMillan for setting up the meeting. Thanks goes also to Lexis-Nexis and JusticeLink for catering food.

Dinner -- Thursday: 6:00 P.M.

We will meet at the CTC6 Registration Desk in the main lobby of the Los Angeles Convention Center in transit to yet-to-be-determined restaurant. We will try to do introductions at dinner the night before in order to save some time in the meeting on Friday.

Meeting Agenda -- Friday: 8:30 A.M.

NOTE: It would be great if we could get the meeting started early, move quickly through the governance issues, and move on to technical presentations before the break.

NOTE: Jim McMillan is providing a lightweight data projector that handles 800x600 resolution.
