Failure to present papers or other evidence of progress at the symposium will send a pretty clear message to the membership that these projects are well and truly dead. Is that what we want to do?

Dan --
Understand that I mean nothing controversial by saying this, but it's very unclear what the status of the Eagle and/or Intelsat projects *is*. There's potentially a lot to say, but hard to know whether any of it is pertinent
at
this point.
I was prepared to deliver a paper on AMSAT-specific aspects of the same topic (Delay Tolerant Networking) that I wrote up for DCC. The gist of the paper was an outline of the specific implementation of a comprehensive text-messaging service for Eagle. Given the current level of uncertainty even about *who* the teams are, and the ambient level of acrimony in the membership, it's questionable whether the time is worth spending.

Would it be far from the truth?

Is it what I want? No. But I see no evidence that it isn't the truth.

Dan, you've put your finger on a significant piece of the problem.
Most of the work I thought about presenting has been ready to integrate into a test/prototype system for over two years. There's no way it can be represented as progress.

Dan, The message, as I read it from several AMSAT senior designers and engineers, is very clear. Please make sure that the BoD is both aware of the message and it's meaning. Robin Haighton VE3FRH
