I must finalize the numbers for the meeting.  If you are interested in participating and/or contributing a presentation or paper, please let me know as soon as possible.
The meeting will focus on assessing the errors in current environmental models and proposals for overcoming these limitations for use in geodetic and geophysical data analysis.
The following are the confirmed Invited speakers to date:
Maik Thomas

On the challenges of developing a mass conserving system model

Minkang Cheng

Degree 2 and geocenter variation from SLR

Xavier Collileux

Call for space geodetic solutions corrected for non-tidal atmospheric loading at the observation level

Thomas Hobiger

How to deal with coordinate systems in numerical weather models?   - Goals of the newly formed IAG SSG12

Jim Ray

Consistency of crustal loading signals derived from models & GPS: Inferences for GPS positioning errors


Wei Chen

Evaluations of global geophysical fluid models based on broad-band geodetic excitations

Haoming Yan

Global mass balance effects on length-of-day change

Richard Gross

The GGFC Special Bureau for the Oceans: Providing Ocean Products for Geodesy

Brian Luzum

Global Geophysical Fluids: an IERS RS/PC Perspective

 The final program will be distributed one week before the meeting.
