23- Additional Points
- RFIC interaction was good
- My Garage has extra workshop notes, and Digests
- Still working on final report
- Workshops are out of control- too many, too few
people organizing - There will be 20 after conference CDROM Mailing
issues - Have IEE-CMS handle
- Elsie Cabrera did an EXELLENT Job
24- Additional Points
- One philosophical point
- Followed a strategy that things should be done
once, and on time, (or a little late) - Partly due to necessity
- Mainly due to not wanting to over plan things,
and to reduce the workload - And reduce volunteer burnout
- Exceptions were
- Budget
- Electronic Paper System
25- Goals for Future Years
- Get ARFTG into IEEE Xplore
- Get Workshop
- Model optimized
- Modules into WebMedia
- Get a better handle on the budget
- Get a better handle on Protocol Lists
- Get a paper submitted
- Get more beer
