Mark Gibson, Co-Chair Co-ChairGibson:Sowelcome everyone to theAugustCSMACmeeting,CommerceSpectrumManagementAdvisory Committee,for those thatdon't know what CSMAC means. If you don't, you probably shouldn't be here.I'dlike to start off by thanking Audrey and Boeing forthis wonderful facility.If you were lucky enough topark underneath, good luck. If you had to park outside, too bad.I also noticethat Larry Alder, who was supposed to be here, isherein absentia.Histable tent isn't among therequiem line there. Larry couldn't, his plane broke, and in spite of hisbest efforts to try to fix it, they canceled the flight.SoLarry will be on the phone.I'msure he'llparticipate as much as he can on the phone as hewould here. Butthat's sort of the welcome and introductions.Theagenda says that I turn it over to LarryStrickling, which is what I'm about to do. Larry Strickling, NTIA Asst.Sec.Strickling:Thankyou,Mark.Thanksvery much, Mark.And I want to add my thanks toAudrey.Audrey, this is an amazing facility.Yousaid you've been here less than a year, I think. And of course, in addition to the NTIA water servicethat you've grown accustomed to, we actually havecoffee, tea and soft drinks.So thanks even morefor that. I want to welcome everybody here today.At the outset I'd like to introduce a new member of ourteam at the Department of Commerce, one of ournew,well,a new deputy for Paige to join PeterTenhula is Steve Molina. Steve, why don't you stand you and say hi?I thinkalot of you may have worked with Steve in thepast,and we just had him join our team as ofMonday. Sothis is day three for Steve,and we're verygratefulthat he's joined us.Somore from himlater, I hope.As folks know, we're operating underthe new charter. This is our second meeting under the new charter.Folks, I think also know that our membership is nowaligned to be one year off from the charter year.Sowe'll be moving next year to ask people to re-up ifthey're interested to be reappointed as members. But because of the work that we've got underway,we've decided that to recommend to the Secretary,and I have no reason to believe she won't acceptthe recommendation, to basically offer all of you asix month extension. So we will be proceeding to do that so that we canextend everybody's membership six months mainlytosqueeze that last ounce of working committeereports out of all of you before we move on to thenew items on the agenda. Later on in the meeting you will hear from Paige intermsof the recommendations that have beenmade to date and the NTIA response to those, aswellas the work that's been done in terms ofsketching out the questions for future CSMAC work.So we'll have a good discussion on that. Lookingforward to the discussion today from thevarious committees, and I think we're d
