Important note to SC-222 Participants. The 5th Plenary Session will be held in conjunction with the Inmarsat Aero Conference in San Francisco (see below). As of the date of this Meeting Announcement, the agenda for the 5th Plenary session is sparse.

As a result, provision for participation by telecon and WebEx will be provided for committee members who are not attending the Conference.
