Executive Committee • Jeffrey Hughes, Director • Charles Goodrich, Deputy Director/Code Coupling • Janet Luhmann, Solar and Solar Wind Models • Mary Hudson, Magnetosphere Models • Timothy Killeen, ITM Models • Harlan Spence, Validation and Metrics • Ramon Lopez, Education and Human Resources • Daniel Baker, Knowledge Transfer

5. CISM Executive Committee • Principal Policy-Setting Body of CISM • Confers bi-weekly, in person or via conference call • Responsible for setting tasks and time lines and monitoring progress against those goals. • Resolves conflicts that may arise between groups. • Decides on reallocation of resources between tasks if it becomes necessary

6. CISM Core Staff • Deputy Director (Goodrich): Project Management. Primary responsibility for day-to-day management of CISM and for implementing decisions of executive committee. Major responsibility for Code Coupling and Integration, Managing Computer Resources, and Visualization. • Assistant Director (Nottingham): Administrative support and budget. • Software Engineer (TBD): support for model coupling software development and implementation • Education Coordinators – Martinez (UTEP) and Zirbel (BU): summer school, course material, teacher training, education research and evaluation. • Technology Transfer Specialist (TBD): liaison between CISM and NOAA/SEC (based at NOAA/SEC)

7. CISM Budget Summary

8. The CISM Advisory Council is a fresh set of eyes to come in and look at what we’re doing and to make suggestions of how we can be doing it better. • Do CISM’s objectives make sense? • Are we trying to do too much, or should we be doing more? If so what? • Are we using our resources effectively and efficiently in order to achieve those objectives? • Do we have the balance of our program right?

10. Advisory Council Meeting, 4/5 March 2003 GOALS: • Form the Advisory Council into a cohesive group • Inform the Council of NSF’s general expectations for an STC • Bring the Council up-to-speed on CISM’s vision, goals and plans, and initial progress • Discuss and adopt an Advisory Council Charter • Obtain the Council’s advice and feedback on our plans and initial work

11. Advisory Council Feedback, 4/5 March 2003 Done Done Done Planned Done Done Done Done • General: • Emphasize the value-added by Center • Define scope of CISM’s research and products clearly • Define expectations and milestones • Management: • Annual CISM “all hands” retreat • Clear lines of Accountability • Budget Summary • Diversity: • Explicitly separate diversity plan from education, research, etc • Partnerships: • Clarify Partnership Structure

12. Advisory Council Feedback, 4/5 March 2003 In Progress In Progress In Progress Done On-going Searching In Progress • Research: • Establish Validation procedure and Metrics • Develop Data Ingestion and Assimilation Plans • Define data structures and formats • Education: • Refine and Articulate Goals – don’t try to do too much, develop new innovative initiatives, • Explore opportunities with AA&M • Summer School and Education Research both good • Long-term relationships with teachers are most effective • Knowledge Transfer: • Need full-time person at SEC • What is Industry looking for?
