While iAnZone and ASPeCt have some organizational issues unique to their programs, we aim to coordinate the two programs as much as possible (at least as much as the ocean and sea ice are coupled). This Draft Agenda is an attempt, though still less than perfect, to do so.

Monday 1 December [ASPeCt Program]

1.ASPeCt STRUCTURE and INTERACTIONS with GLOCHANT and WCRP

S.F. Ackley--Review of the ASPeCt Science Plan, formation of the Science Steering Group, and contributions to SCAR's Global Change in Antarctica Program

J. Priddle--Review of other GLOCHANT Activities in Polar Marine Science, primarily SO-JGOFS, SO GloBec and CZ-EASIZ. Potential Collaborations of these with ASPeCt.

V. Savtchenko--WCRP Antarctic Drifting Buoy and Ice Thickness Program: (E. Fahrbach and V.Lytle--Results from ULS moorings on ice thickness)

2. DISCUSSION of Current Milestones in the ASPeCt Science Plan

A. Worby--Development of observational protocols and an observer's handbook
