Visioneers Telecon Page

Notes

Participants: Chris Lenhardt, Bruce Caron, Karl Benedict, Susie Allard (UTK), Shaliendra Kumar, Rob Raskin, Peter Fox, Brian Wilson, Brian Rogan, Carol Meyer

There has been no action by the ExCom on the meeting since it has not met since the last Visioneers telecon. This has been aded to the ExCom agenda for this week.

Theme Discussion

Energy and Climate theme was supported by local host, Bruce Wilson. He further note that the link to decision support was in place. Climate impacts on energy would be a focus and end user needs for information might be a focus. Shaliendra Kumar noted that the needs of utilities and national security, for example, might be good places to focus. The idea would be to launch a new Energy Cluster in conjunction with this focus. The opportunity also would be used to engage the modeling community in this activity. Use ESIP as a cross-agency forum for discussion and use the opportunity to pull in the Department of Energy.
