General Comment Period

The workshop planning committee provided an opportunity for participants in the room to make public comments. Individuals were given 3 minutes each to comment on any relevant topic. Appendix E is an unedited transcript of those comments. Below is a list of commenters and the topics they raised.

  • Maggie Benoit, National Science Foundation (NSF): Explanation of why NSF funded the workshop.
  • Eric Webb, Sandia National Laboratory: Student intern programs, life-cycle costs of sustaining capabilities, and difficulty partnering with NSF.
  • Michael Foote, The University of Chicago: Federal limitations on international collaborations.
  • Jim Yoder, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution: Small Business Innovative Research Program model.
  • Doug Hollett, Melroy & Hollett Technology Partners, LLC: Increased interaction between applied engineering and research science communities.
  • Egill Hauksson, California Institute of Technology: Fostering understanding of instrumentation among graduate students.
  • Sergio Barrientos, National Seismological Center, University of Chile: Partnerships for sustaining operational standards of earthquake early warning systems.
  • Glen Mattioli, UNAVCO: Response to Barrientos’ question about partnerships.
  • Rick Aster, Colorado State University: Continued response to Barrientos’s question about partnerships.
  • Kate Moran, Ocean Networks Canada: Partnerships in Canada (including answers to interjected questions from Hollett).
  • Enrique Cabral-Cano, Instituto de Geofísica, Universidad Nacional Autónoma de México, Mexico: Governance as part of management, U.S./international collaborations.
