<p>Dear LTER IMs: </p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>On Monday's VTC, we began to form a committee to update the 2009 "IM Review Criteria" document. Several people couldn't attend the VTC, so this email is an invitation to join the committee. Please let me know if you are interested. The expectation is
that we will have a new IM Review Criteria document ready to use for the site reviews next year. We will have to work quickly to get the document reviewed by IMs, LTER scientists, and NSF.</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
