Dear Federation Members-

I am contacting you to bring you up to date on the Winter Meeting in
Pasadena, CA scheduled for January 6-9, 2003. The working agenda should
be up on the Federation website now.

We have made significant progress over the past month and I am very
pleased with the resulting agenda and hope that you will be as well.
Many of you who have contacted me felt that it was important to allocate
time to all of the projects for presentations. I agree entirely and
endorse this opportunity for all projects to report on their
developments and more importantly to discuss where they are heading in
the future. Not only will this bring all of us up to speed on everyone's
projects but it will allow all of us to consider further collaboration
into the future. 

There is even more reason to place high priority on project
presentations at the winter meeting. As you all know, we have worked
very hard to put into place the organizational structure of the
Foundation for Earth Science. One of the goals of the Foundation is to
attract corporate, government and non-profit partners in our quest to
contribute to the quality of life, economic opportunities and
stewardship of the planet through the use of Earth science information
and to the public awareness of the importance of understanding our
planet. This was also the message that describes the newly formed
Charles Falkenberg Award presented by the AGU and ESIP Federation. The
leadership of the Foundation for Earth Science will be developing a
portfolio of projects to present to potential sponsors of our efforts.
It is important that we get the most recent pictures of your projects so
we can begin this planning process. We will talk more about this
exciting opportunity at the winter meeting itself.

So please plan to represent your project and let Carol Meyer
(esipfoundation@mindspring.com <mailto:esipfoundation@mindspring.net> )
know as soon as possible if you will be presenting. We have allocated
1.5 hours for each type of ESIPs (I, II, III) on January 8th. Please
don't forget that we will also have a camera crew for two days to shoot
interviews with the principle investigator or approved representative of
each ESIP for future video products about the Federation. This is an
important step toward increased awareness of your projects and
organizations through the Foundation.

If you have any questions, please call me at 410-203-1316. I hope you
have plans to register by COB TODAY with the Doubletree-Pasadena as the
rates will increase to $159.00 per night (from $99/night) tomorrow. The
hotel's direct number is:  (800) 222-8733.  Be sure to mention that you
are with the JPL-ESIP Federation meeting. I look forward to seeing you
there.and working together to plan our futures.

Regards,
Dave
