April 24, 2013 @ UIC Paris

Dear all openETCS Partners,

In our last meeting in Charleroi, we have agreed on the necessity, the content and deadline of the SSRS. The upcoming meeting at April 24 in Paris (UIC) is about to determine responsibilities, resource allocation, means and organization of the generation of the SSRS. Since we have to make a lot of decisions I highly recommend to be well prepared (know who is available in the own organization, planning basics) and adhere strictly to the time plan. Things we cannot decide in the time given, can be discussed in Working Session III and IV. Baseliyos takes the "on-line minutes".

We are happy to announce that Jos Holtzer (NS Passenger) will be the moderator for our Workshop:

*) If possible, that point (ERA) could be shifted to the 2nd time slot to get the input early.

We expect at least one representative from each party who is involved in WP2, WP3 and WP7 and those who are users of the SSRS in succeeding work packages (WP4, WP5).

A repository has been prepared for the SSRS works, which will hold all documents, reports and minutes of meetings ==> https://github.com/openETCS/SSRS We are planning to work actively on that repository right from the beginning. KRH
