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.<br>
 
 
====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.

"Straw Man" Discussion ESIP Energy Group – Draft Proposal

Understanding Climate change impact on Energy demand and supply, and decision support for planning adaptation and mitigation strategies is one of the highest priorities from national security as well as from national and local government agency’s perspective. It has significant implications both from domestic and international point of view. ESIP could play a major role in bringing together a forum for impacted organizations to provide end user needs, utilities to articulate challenges and requirements to meet those needs, and government and private sector leaders to serve those needs.

To that end, we would like to launch an Energy WG within ESIP at the upcoming ESIP Summer 2010 meeting in Knoxville, TN.

Proposed Agenda Items are:

I. General session - Key Notes

· Climate Change and Energy: Utilities Perspective

· Climate Change and Energy: National Security Requirements

II. Breakout Session I: End User Needs

· Energy requirements for local communities in the face of climate change and population growth

· Military Base energy requirements for adaptation and mitigation

· User Group Panel Discussion: Energy Requirements

III. Breakout Session II – Public Policy and Government Plans

· Climate Change Impact on Energy Sector: Public Policy Issues and Challenges

· State Planners Perspective on Climate Change and Energy

· NASA Perspective on Climate Change and Energy

· NOAA Perspective on Climate Change and Energy

IV. Breakout session III. Decision Support Solutions

· National Data Resources -

· Economic and Energy assessment

· Power Infrastructure Decision Support

· Downscaling Models for Regional Applications

· Others?
