<p>Time and Place:

The meeting will take place on January 12th  (Saturday), beginning at 9:00 
a.m., at King's College, London, in Room 27C (or Committee Room), Main 
Building, Strand Campus, Strand, London WC2.  I expect our meeting to last 
the better part of the day, but probably not all of the 
afternoon.  Last-minute agenda items should be sent to me, if you have any 
to suggest (the agenda as it currently stands is given below).

<p>Lodging:

If you haven't arranged lodging, you may still want to consult the web page 
that Harold Short put up on this topic, which can be found at 
http://www.kcl.ac.uk/humanities/cch/tei/

<p>Comments on P4 Draft:

On December 4th and 5th, respectively, I sent mail to TEI-L and to 
Humanist, soliciting final comments on the P4 draft guidelines, to be sent 
to me or to the editors by December 31st.  One set of comments was sent to 
TEI-L by Hilde Bøe, Ellen Nessheim and Stine Brenna Taugbøl for Henrik 
Ibsen's Writings, and I will shortly forward a copy to the Council, to make 
sure you have it.  I haven't received any comments directly, but I expect 
to receive some shortly from David Seaman, which I will also send to the 
Council as soon as I have them.  If  the editors or individual Council 
members have received (or generated) comments, these should be forwarded to 
the Council by email as soon as possible, so that we all have a complete 
set, and time to digest them before the meeting.

<p>Agenda:

1. Charge to the Council from the Board, rules of operation for the 
Council.  Information pertinent to this item can be found in the bylaws, at 
http://www.tei-c.org/Consortium/TEIby-A6.html

2. A review of P4 and the comments of end-users.  The draft guidelines are 
at http://www.tei-c.org/P4X/Status/.

3.  Workgroups needed; funding available for needed workgroups.

4.  the NEH grant (a copy of that, with budget, will be sent to the Council 
shortly in another email).

5. The ESTATE project: letter of recommendation and workgroups related to 
ESTATE.  A draft of the ESTATE proposal is available on the web at 
http://www.hit.uib.no/TEI/ESTATE/ESTATE_2.PDF, and a description of the 
partners is at http://www.hit.uib.no/TEI/ESTATE/parters.html (no "n" in 
that filename...).

If there are other items that should be added to the agenda, please let me 
know.

<p>See you in just under a week,

John
