The presentations form the 38th CGSIC Meeting that was held in
Salt Lake City are available at:
http://www.navcen.uscg.gov/cgsic/meetings/summaryrpts/38thmeeting/default.htm
In the International Session, John Wilde of STASYS Limited UK
was elected to replace Mike Savill as the Chair of the
International Subcommittee (ISC). In his term as Chair, Mike
Savill led the restructuring of the ISC that has
made it more effective in its support to the GPS
authorities.
Victor Zhang, NIST, was elected to replace Lisa Nelson as
Co-chair of the Timing Subcommittee. Lisa has changed agencies,
but plans to stay involved in the subcommittee.
Both Mike and Lisa have made valuable contributions to the
Committee that hopefully will continue as they change their
roles with the Committee.
