Dear colleagues,
The call for the next IGS Annual Report, covering years 2003-2004
has been issued by the IGS Central Bureau. I will be pulling together
the data center contribution to the report. Please send me any
suggested
topics (as well as the supporting text!) to include in this report by
July 15. Some possibilities:
- Significant data center upgrades
- New IGS-related data sets supported
- Future plans in the DC arena
Thanks,
Carey.

> Dear colleagues,
> I'm sure you have been desperately waiting for this message - we are
> ready to prepare the IGS Annual Report as a combined report for 2003 &
> 2004. At most we ask for 1 to 2 pages highlighting the key activities
> & advancements - graphics particularly welcome.
> The IGS Annual Report Series will continue with the established format
> of two volumes. This message addresses the top level synopsis of the
> IGS in 2003 & 2004. This is meant to be read rather quickly by
> anyone and to provide a good overview of the key activities, advances
> and accomplishments of the IGS over the past two years - which have
> been significant! The second document is the IGS Technical Report. A
> separate message will discuss what is planned there.
>
> To organize this AR we will continue to work with the people at JPL
> who produce our annual reports. Our key contact for this volume will
> again be Marilyn Morgan-- she has done an excellent job at pulling the
> document together over the past years.
>
> To prepare the publication this year, here are the details and
> guidelines:
>
> Physical Details
> -----------------
> Every contributor is encouraged to focus on highlights, key concepts
> and activities - the audience tends to be those external to the IGS
> technical depth.
>
> Graphics, photos, diagrams etc. are very much welcome, but plan for a
> two color printing - as in the past, color is too expensive unless we
> really shorten the report. Any graphics you send should be 300 dpi
> or higher, Marilyn can ftp to retrieve files, etc.
>
> Length of report: 24-30 pages max - we tend to go over.
>
> Also we will do the photos again so if you have any that you prefer,
> please send to us.
>
> Authors
> --------------
> Key areas -- Lead author is solicited here, you may solicit a
> co-author(s) if you prefer
>
> Introduction: TBD (1 page)
>
> * 2 pages max each, 1.5 with a graphic is preferable *, these areas
> must speak for the overall IGS component being represented:
> Executive Overview: John Dow - Gerhard Beutler cameo (?)
> highlighting Bern 10th Anniversary
> Analysis Coordinator Activities: Gerd Gendt
> Central Bureau Status: Ruth Neilan/Angie Moore
> Network Coordinator: Angelyn Moore
> Data Centers: Carey Noll
> IGS Reference Frame & Densification: Remi Ferland/ Zuheir Altamimi
> Timing Coordinator: Ken Senior/Feli Arias
>
> Projects/Working Group/Associated Activities,
> * 1 - 1.5 * page each - a few paragraphs, graphics and pictures very
> welcome

> Author Instructions
> --------------------
> Contributions are to be in ASCII text. For text and non-graphic
> tables -- ASCII text is best (PC or Mac based). We can also deal with
> Microsoft Word; however, any other software (e.g., TEX, Word Perfect)
> we would have to convert, so please use ASCII if not Word. Formatting
> of text will occur for the whole document.
>
> Authors send the ASCII text contributions to:
> marilyn.e.morgan at jpl.nasa.gov
>
> Tables are fine. Graphics _can_ be used -- but try to summarize the
> figure concepts in words/tables where possible also for ease of
> explanation and preparation of figure captions.
>
> For photographs -- we need high-resolution TIFF files, 300 dpi at
> least. We have to convert any other formats to TIFFs. We can also
> accept hard-copy photo
> prints.
> For illustrations -- we need the native file - a TIFF, and some
> JPG,and PNG file formats or
> a hard copy.
>
> What we ___CAN'T___ use:
> -- Graphics embedded in software (e.g., a graphic brought into
> Microsoft
> Word or PowerPoint or any word processing or page layout software).
> -- GIFs (the quality and resolution is far too low for printing
> purposes
> (72 dpi); some JPEGs are acceptable, it depends on the resolution.
>
> Include a hard copy, mail or fax, to Marilyn to supplement digital
> files -- just to make sure nothing gets lost in transit. This is
> especially true for illustrations.

> Marilyn will make sure that the CB has copies of the contributions

> Schedule
> -----------------
> July 29 -- draft contributions due to Marilyn Morgan
> August 24 -- Draft TOC and layout for GB Biz meeting in Cairns
> Sept 9 -- copy & layout approval, editing cycle
> Sept 23 -- sent to printing (~three weeks)
> Oct 14 -- document returned from printer
>
>
> Any comments, questions or suggestions, please let me know. Remember
> - Really looking for high level summaries. I would really appreciate
> it if everyone can submit a short write-up, even if it is a draft, or
> a bullet list of accomplishments so that I have something to work with
> - we generally end up doing a detailed edit on this document.
>
> The key difficulty in getting these documents out is getting the
> submissions in to us.
