The meetings have been made to be adjacent to the meetings of ATIS T1A1.5 committee because of common interest in compression measurements. This will permit their members to attend our meetings and our members to attend their meetings.

The meetings of ATIS Subcommittee T1A1.5 and its various working groups will be from Monday, May 5th to Friday, May 9th, and the schedule for these meetings is attached. The relevant work in the T1A1.5 Subcommittee is in the Ad Hoc Group on Broadcast Coding and Performance Requirements.

The Draft Agenda for the G-2.1.6 meeting is attached.

The Minutes of the 3rd meeting of the Subcommittee on January 20th, 1997 will be available in a couple of days. It is hoped that these will also be available shortly on the Web at http://stdsbbs.ieee.org/groups/videocomp/ .
