To Rosaceae Community Members,
At PAG on the evening of 12 January 2007 the recipents of the CSREES-NRI Rosaceae Awards will give short updates of their projects. Following these presentations, we have been asked to engage in a Strategic Planning session. This session will be guided by three questions provided to us by Ed Kaliekau. In preparation for this session, Kevin Folta and I (on behalf of RosEXEC) and three volunteers (Carole Bassett, Cameron Peace and Schuylar Korban) have developed the attached outline which we hope will help facilitate this discussion. For you review, we have provided links via GDR to the outline in two forms, one short 2 page version http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/documents/GENERAL_DISCUSSION_Short.doc and one longer version http://www.bioinfo.wsu.edu/gdr/community/rosexec/documents/GENERAL_DISCUSSION_-_full_version.doc that matches the short version but is more developed. These links are also available via the GDR home page. (http://www.rosaceae.org).
We would appreciate your reading over the outline(s) we have prepared and getting back to us with your comments, alterations, etc, prior to the 12th. Thank you so much for your time. We look forward to hearing from you and meeting with you later this week.
Best regards,
Amy
