Dear ILRS Station Representative/Engineer/SLR Analyst,

Please plan to attend the 19^th International workshop on Laser Ranging in Annapolis Maryland this October.

On Friday (Oct. 31) there will be a clinic session that will focus on data quality and involve interactions between ILRS Station Representatives, Engineers,
and SLR Analysts to improve our data.  The format for the clinic will include speakers/presentations, entire group discussion, and small group interaction.  The clinic will last until 5pm so please plan to attend the full clinic.

Please go to the portal and register (if you have not done so) and also reply to Toshi and me if you plan to attend.

Additionally, we are looking to have participation by Stations/Analysts/Engineers to present best practices, problems/issues, action needed.

Please let Toshi and me know if you would like contribute by speaking, making some presentation, or hosting an interactive group session.

(Examples of interactive session: coaching with analysis websites/tools, review of station systematic bias’s, review/update site log, best practice discussion, etc.)

There was much discussion at the recent Fujiyoshida workshop that there are opportunities for improvement.  It is crucial to our future that this clinic session
is well attended and participation is active!!  We are looking forward to seeing you all there.

Thank you,

Dave and Toshi,
