Background on Objectives and Format
A. Objectives
-
To refine the scope and focus of the geomagnetic initiative.
-
To identify challenges and future directions in geomagnetic studies and applications, particularly those of an interdisciplinary nature.
-
To define unique opportunities in geomagnetic research and development that could benefit from an increased level of interagency coordination.
-
To consider the need and possible mechanisms for on-going interagency coordination which are consistent with the mandated mission of the principal agencies involved.
-
To develop a plan of action.
B. Size of Meeting
-
Large enough to represent the breadth and diversity of the field.
-
Small enough to ensure meaningful discussions in a small group environment.
-
Approximately 100 participants from the academic, industry, and government scientific community.
C. Selection of Participants
-
Participants were selected from a pool of applicants and nominees based on balance of representation among disciplines and the expected scientific participation of the potential attendee.
Page 221
D. General Guidelines for Pre-Workshop Activity
-
Essential material was distributed to the workshop participants before they arrived at the meeting.
-
A draft document was circulated to all attendees before the workshop.
-
The chairperson of each working subgroup circulated material to subgroup members.
-
If appropriate (that is, if certain material was not already circulated, discussed, or otherwise brought to the attention of the meeting participants), attendees were expected to arrive with position statements in hand, ready to be copied and circulated to other participants.
E. Venue for the Workshop
-
The Workshop was held at, or adjacent to, the National Academy of Sciences (NAS) Green Building, 2001 Wisconsin Avenue, NW, Washington, DC (Georgetown).
-
Plenary sessions were held at the Georgetown Holiday Inn (across the street from the Green Building), a facility that could accommodate at least 100 people.
-
Working Group meetings were held in the NAS Green Building where 6 to 8 small meeting rooms were available to accommodate 20 to 40 people each.
-
Secretarial support, word processing, and duplication facilities were available throughout the meeting.
-
Lodging was available at the nearby Georgetown Holiday Inn.
F. The Working Groups and Subgroups
-
The charge to each working group was to articulate and implement the concepts and recommendations of its constituency.
Page 222
In general, each attendee was affiliated with at least two different working groups: a “Topical Research Working Group” and an “Operational Requirements Working Group.”
G. The Product
-
It was planned that a document (called the “proceedings”) would be completed by the end of the workshop. This would form the basis of a report to be issued by the U.S. Geodynamics Committee. The “proceedings” would consist of the following elements:
1.An Executive Summary setting forth the most outstanding opportunities and priorities.
2.A 35- to 50-page report identifying scientific, operational, and policy issues related to the workshop objectives mentioned above.
3.A set of supporting appendixes. These might consist of (among other things) those thoughtful statements describing in detail the scientific or the programmatic basis for various elements of the initiative.
-
All Subgroups were accordingly requested to develop a one-page summary of their concerns, which they were expected to distribute at the beginning of the meeting.
-
All Working Groups were expected to use the one-page Subgroup summaries in arriving at a one-page synopsis of their own. These Working Group synopses would be used by the executive committee (EXCOM) in developing the two-page Executive Summary.

By midmorning, each Topical Working Group Chair had developed specific guidelines defining the product needed from each working group. At the discretion of the Working Group Chair, some groups assembled into Subgroup Panels for more specific, focused discussion. In most cases, specific writing assignments resulted in draft text by noon (or by the afternoon plenary session).

Each Operational Needs Subgroup discussed the following in terms of its specific subfield:
Page 234
-
Operational platforms
-
Data management systems
-
Interagency coordination and communication
At this point, each chairperson had developed very specific guidelines defining the product needed from each Working Group. Specific writing assignments resulted in final text by noon (or by afternoon plenary session).
