This is your friendly reminder that this meeting is taking place tomorrow.

I neglected to mention previously; WG21 participation rules have changed
and SGs like SG16 have been impacted. Going forward, all attendees of
SG16 meetings are required to be at least one of:

 1. A formal member of WG21; your name must appear in the ISO global
    directory.
 2. A formal member of one of the following liaison organizations:
     1. JTC 1/SC 22/WG 14 (the C committee)
     2. JTC 1/SC 22/WG 21 (the C++ committee)
     3. ISO TC 37, Terminology and other language and content resources
     4. JTC 1/SC 2, Coded character sets
     5. JTC 1/SC 27, IT Security techniques
     6. JTC 1/SC 41, Internet of things and digital twin
     7. Ecma International
     8. IEEE
     9. Linux Foundation
    10. MISRA
    11. or any other recognized ISO liaison organization associated with
        SC 22.
 3. Invited by the convenor (one-time only; further participation will
    require meeting one of the above two requirements).

If you wish to attend and do not qualify for one of the first two
requirements, please contact me and we'll get your participation sorted out.

Tom.
