Please note that NIST requires RSVPs by March 2 from those who plan to attend this meeting.  If you'd like to attend, please contact Mary Ann FitzGerald at maryannf@nist.gov  She will need to know your name, organization, and citizenship.  Since she is gathering such information for a number of other meetings, please indicate that it is the xmlCoP meeting in which you'd like to participate.

Directions to NIST are available at http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/maps/nistmaps.html.  You will need photo ID to check in at the guard gate and get a badge.  The guards can direct you to the Metrology Building 220.  The lab is on the first floor of building in the front interior of the building.  (Follow the signs to AMSANT.)  If you arrive late to the building, use the phone in the lobby to call the meeting (x3451 or x3450) and someone will come to admit you.
