Agenda December 2006

Venue
The workshop will take place in room E on the first floor of the BIS tower. There are 14 seats in the round table and 16 in the back benches. We can have up to two ADSL connections for central bank participants' own laptops, enabling a standard web connection and secure connections to test etc systems of central banks. In addition, 1-2 BIS participants can connect their laptops to the BIS network (and the web). Any of these laptop displays can be projected onto the flat screens (red boxes on the room map) in front of the participants. We may or may not need a technician to switch between the source laptops. Therefore, anyone wishing to give a presentation using her/his own laptop should drop by on Tuesday pm to test it in advance.
