Message-ID: ****************************************************************************** IGS Electronic Mail 25 Jul 14:30:45 PDT 2003 Message Number 4523 ****************************************************************************** Author: IGS Central Bureau Date: July 22, Resent July 25 From: Ruth E. Neilan To: IGS Contributors Subject: IGS 2002 Technical Report CC: IGS Governing Board Input Submission Due Date for 2002 Report: ------->>>>> Thursday September 18, 2003 <<<---- Dear Friends and Colleagues, It is time to prepare your submissions for the IGS 2002 Technical Report. The IGS 2001 Technical Report was never completed and misses some major contributions since the end of last year. The Governing Board has directed me to close the 2001 Report and move to complete the IGS 2002 Technical Report. What we can do is publish the 2002 and include a 2001 section. We truly need a dedicated effort to complete this 2002 TR document, a record of the technical accomplishments of the IGS is our responsibility and proves to be very valuable. As a reminder, the 2000 TR has been available in PDF format on the IGS website under publications: http://igscb.jpl.nasa.gov/overview/pubs.html To date we have not printed this document and direct requests for it to the PDF location. We do plan to print hardcopies of the 2002 Technical Report. However, one advantage of the website/PDF file is that a number of the plots and figures are in color, while the printed versions are black and white. ANNUAL REPORT 2001-2002 Update --------------------------------------------------------- Due to the budget/schedule difficulties in publishing the reports in 2001 & 2002, the Board also decided that the Annual Report should be a combined 2001-2002 Report. This is the brief volume capturing the highlights of the IGS that is widely distributed and generally very well received. The report is close to being printed, many thanks to everyone for their contributions. 2002 Technical Report Report Details ------------------------------------------------------ Below you can see the proposed Table of Contents. We must complete the report this year. A few years ago the Governing Board stated: -->>>> It is our intent to ensure <<<<< --- that the committed components of the IGS document their status, processes and developments annually. So please make a concerted effort this year to meet the deadlines. It is unfair to our colleagues who always meet the deadlines with their contributions and then do not see the final report released. Authors not listed below should feel free to contribute if appropriate by following the guidelines. If a different author than listed below will be contributing for your organization, please advise the CB or Ken Gowey (kgowey at jpl.nasa.gov), our technical support editor, so that we may update this table. Any questions? Please contact us.
