Bob and Chris will review the 2005 budget and see how much is available for this program.
There was some discussion as to how many DLP’s there should be. Is one too few to have much general interest? I suggested that the details
should be decided by the DLP Committee.
Tom Wiener noted that the DLP Comm. should not *exclude* Canada and Latin America (i.e. don’t be “NA” specific).
Can get information from Linda Matarazzo about the “hot technical” areas from the Sensors Journal in order to help select the lecturers
Appoint a “Standards Chair” – possibly Bernhard Jakoby?
Other:
–
Establish relationship with major sensors research groups
