Report of Second Meeting of IAU Task Force
|
February 10 and 11,
2007
The second meeting took place in February 2007 in Washington DC, USA,
in conjunction with the ACE annual meeting on the same theme. ACE
is a member organization of IAU and focusing on the Access Imperative
offered an opportune occasion for the Task Force members to participate
actively in the conference – two were panellists, and to attend the
sessions.
During this meeting, the TF examined the progress made so far in the
data collection and to review the draft report. It was agreed as
the next steps, IAU would
· Continue to collect data, particularly by
filling in some geographical gaps in the current survey
· Improve some of the statistical information
to be included as background for all 17 countries covered by ‘snapshot’
survey
· Reorganize the draft report according to the
main themes as they emerge from the survey findings and the TF
discussions.
