12:30 to 1:15 - SCOAR membership - Bane
Suggested procedure: Reappoint the three members who will fulfill their first three-year term as of Feb 2006, and then schedule staggered rotations out of SCOAR during the next three years. SCOAR is still pretty new, and so rotating too many members out now is probably not wise, as it may be too much of a loss of corporate memory.
1:15 to 1:45 - Break
1:45 to 2:30 - White paper on Aircraft in Oceanography - Bane
and Riemer
Discussion of the first draft.
2:30 to 3:15 - Community feedback process - All
Following completion of the White Paper, we should draft a letter to be sent
to the ocean science community asking for feedback on aircraft requirements
and current use of them. We need to create a feedback questionnaire to be sent
as a companion to the letter. The response we get back should help us develop
plans for a workshop with aircraft operators and earth (or just ocean?) science
users and funding agencies to look at enhancements to the research aircraft
situation that SCOAR might engage in.
3:15 to 4:00 - Update on developments in ICAP safety standards - Flagg
Revisit also the notion of what specific rules, regulations, procedures, practices,
etc might be appropriate for ocean scientists using UNOLS aircraft facilities
-- are there any or do we go with what each individual organization does?
4:00 to 4:30 - Preparations for the next SCOAR meeting at a ship institution
- Melville and Bane
4:30 to 5:00 - Future Business
5:00 - Adjourn
