Summary of executive session (provided by Steven Businger, Chair):
Concern was expressed regarding the perceived increase in workload associated with AWIPS II transition and staffing changes; e.g., that some applications (IDV, RAMADDA) may not receive sufficient attention.
Recommendations:
i) look for resources to add one additional staff programmer.
ii) resurrect steering committees for key packages.
