CEOS Holds First Forums
- In recognition the importance of interaction between CEOS and the non-CEOS
community, particularly representatives of the private sector, the CEOS
Secretariat arranged for the three CEOS Open Forum meetings in conjunction
with already scheduled international conferences. The Open Fora were a
first attempt to stimulate a dialog between CEOS and potential commercial
satellite operators, as well as with users not directly represented by
CEOS members, observers, and affiliates.
The first three CEOS Open Forum meetings were held at the American Society for Photogrammetry and Remote Sensing (ASPRS) conference on Land Satellite Information in the Next Decade, near Washington, D.C; at the European Symposium on Satellite and Remote Sensing II in Paris; and at the International Astronautical Federation in Oslo, Norway. All three forum meetings ware held in kate September/early October 1995.
In each meeting, approximately 25-30 people attended. The CEOS Representatives gave a brief overview of the organization, its accomplishments, objectives, and interrests, adn then invited comments and question s from the attendees. These was considerable interest in CEOS and many requests for the additional documents, subscriptions to the nresletters, and other information. The attendees expressed appreciation for the initiative by CEOS, and interest in continuing a mechanism for further communication.
These results were reported to the CEOS Plenary in Montreal, where it was agreed that this expriment was worth continuing. NASA offered to fund developmrnt of a CEOS display to support future Open Forum meetings, and CEOS participants were invited to identify future meetings at which an Open Fprum might be oeganized CEOS Newsletter readers are invited to contract the CEOS Secretariat if there are meetings at which a CEOS Open Forum could be conducted.
