As befits a topic dealing with change and variability, we ask you to shift your thinking somewhat for the next few days and accept the unique approach to scientific dialog that is a Scialog hallmark. It requires that you actively participate in the discussions by fearlessly brainstorming and saying what comes to mind, even if your thoughts on the topic under discussion may be considered unorthodox or highly speculative. The Scialog methodology also requires that you consider the novel ideas of others without summarily rejecting them, although constructive criticism is always appropriate. -

MPS Advisory Committee Meeting November 3 - 5, 2004 Divisional Breakout Group Assignments
Minutes of the MPSAC Meeting of November 3-5, 2004 Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee Meeting Minutes November 3-5, 2004 Wednesday, November 3, 2004 Afternoon Session Welcome and Introductions The meeting of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences Advisory Committee (MPSAC) was called to order at 12:45 PM. Dr. Michael S. Turner, Assistant Director of the Directorate for Mathematical and Physical Sciences (MPS) introduced Dr. Carl Lineberger, Chair of the MPSAC. Turner also introduced Dr. Jakob Yngvason, Director of the Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematical Physics, Vienna, and an observer for the European Science Foundation. Members of the MPSAC then introduced themselves. Attendees at the meeting are listed in Appendix 1. Remarks of the Chair Lineberger began with a discussion of the role of the MPSAC. He noted that while giving advice on items of common interests is important, the MPSAC is not a governing board. He stated that breakout sessions with Divisions are important and very useful at the divisional level. He was concerned about the current one-year term of the MPSAC Chair. He felt it was too short to be effective and wondered if the term of the Chair should be longer, if there should be a Vice Chair, and if there should be a small steering committee that met between the regular meetings. There was also the question of whether there should be more frequent meetings of the MPSAC, if there should be more breakout sessions, and how could one go about making MPSAC more engaged. One member commented that having an extended term for the MPSAC Chair might increase the difficulty of getting a Chair. -
