<p class="MsoNormal">The topic for discussion will be if/how we should modify our existing IM organization (committees, WGs, etc.) to interact with the NIMO, assuming it is awarded. We would like to get the discussion going before the VTCs and I will send out
an e-mail early next week with some initial thoughts to start a dialog.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will also provide an update on proposals for the 2016 IMC meeting.<o:p></o:p></p>
