Invitation by Alan E. Johnston, CIML President |

Dear Colleagues, The CIML will hold its 42nd Meeting in Shanghai (P.R. China) on Wednesday 24 (all day), Thursday 25 (morning) and Friday 26 October 2007 (morning). It will be preceded by a Seminar on OIML D 1 Elements for a Law on Metrology on Tuesday 23 October. A number of other meetings (Regional bodies, OIML TCs/SCs and the OIML Working Group on Conformity to Type) will also be organized on this occasion. Unfortunately this year it will not be possible to provide translation into French, and so all the meeting sessions will be held in English only. A number of key issues will require decisions to be taken, including the preliminary 2009-2012 Budget, the Action Plan, and several new or revised publications. In March this year the Presidential Council examined the comments sent in by CIML Members concerning possible improvements in the way in which discussions are oriented during the CIML Meetings. Commencing this year, more time will be allocated to discussion and I invite you to be ready to take the floor during this CIML Meeting and to present your views on the various issues to be discussed. It is essential that the Committee have sufficient voting members for a quorum. Therefore: - if you are unable to personally attend this meeting,
please ensure you delegate your vote to a member of your staff
or to a representative of your Embassy in China; - if you anticipate that you or your delegation may be absent during any of the CIML Meeting sessions, please give a proxy to another CIML Member when registering online. The BIML has prepared this web site for the Shanghai meetings (www.oiml.org/shanghai) and registration for attendance at the CIML Meeting and accommodation will again this year be online via the Shanghai web site. The deadline for registering is 10 September 2007;
if you are unable to register via the web site, please contact the BIML
and alternative arrangements will be made. Looking forward to seeing you again in Shanghai, Yours sincerely, Alan E. Johnston
