Subject: Web Forum on NEON NRC Study
Because of its potential relevance to the ecological community, we
wanted to alert you to an opportunity to provide input to a National
Research Council (NRC) study on the proposed National Ecological
Observatory Network (NEON) by participating in a web forum discussion
from June 2 to June 16, 2003.
This is an opportunity to provide your perspectives and insights to the
committee. Please navigate to www.nationalacademies.org/neon to join
the discussion and for more information on NEON. Contact Bridget Avila
( bavila@nas.edu ) if you have any difficulties with the forum.
The study committee will evaluate which important issues in ecology
need to be addressed on an expanded range of scales and will assess
whether NEON's national network of field and laboratory research
infrastructure is an appropriate and necessary means to address
large-scale questions.
WEBCAST
In addition to the web forum, the committee will meet on Tuesday, June
10, 2003 at the National Academy of Sciences Building (2101 Constitution
Ave., Washington DC), which will be open to public between 1:30 - 4:30
p.m. EDT. This will be an opportunity to learn about NSF's plans for
NEON and about the views of relevant professional societies and other
government agencies. Please contact Bridget Avila (202) 334-2186 or
bavila@nas.edu if you plan to attend this meeting. Alternatively,
you may listen to the meeting via a live audio webcast and submit
questions using an e-mail form at http://national-academies.org.

Folks, note also that for this long-awaited NRC study, additional
information, including the NEON study committee roster so far, can be found
by going to the www.nationalacademies.org main page, selecting CURRENT
PROJECTS from the top menu, and searching on NEON.
This takes you to an additional NRC info page for the NEON study that is
not, at the moment, well-linked to the www.nationalacademies.org/neon page
that NRC is advertising--though it's at the latter URL where one signs up
to submit comments to the web forum or speak at the committee meeting on
June 10th.
Note also that the NSF NEON website at www.nsf.gov/bio/neon , which NRC
links to, is out-of-date. Current information about NEON can be found at
the IBRCS website: http://ibrcs.aibs.org
