Organization

The conference was organized by the US-ISY  Association with support from NASA and hosted by the University of New Hampshire (UNH). It was held at the New England Center on the UNH campus in Durham, New Hampshire, and at other UNH campus locations. Delegates were housed at the New England Center and at the Sise Inn in nearby Portsmouth.

The conference opened with a plenary session. Conference participants then broke up into working groups that met in separate conference rooms. At a concluding plenary session on the third day, working group chairmen presented the recommendations of their working groups.

There were five Earth science working groups and one working group for senior space agency officials with broad management responsibilities. Participation was by invitation and limited to Earth scientists and senior space agency officials in keeping with the character of the working groups. The size of the Earth science working groups was kept to ten or less in order to facilitate decisionmaking during the short time available.
