Subject: Re: RAFCAP meeting & Actions.

The last RAFCAP (annual) meeting was hosted by our Indian colleagues at Pune, India, 14-16
February 2008. RAFCAP wishes to thank our Indian colleagues at Pune for their wonderful
hospitality and for making this an unforgettable meeting.

A copy of the program of the meeting is on the RAFCAP website together with copies of all
presentations and some photos. б 

This meeting was attended by members: Ohishi (chair), Tzioumis (secretary), Chung, Anantha, Venkat
AND many local interested persons, and particularly the GMRT chief scientist Yashwant Gupta. It
created a lot of local interest in spectrum issues.

On Friday 15/2/08, we had the RAFCAP Business meeting. Below I'll outline the Actions resulting
from this meeting and some will require the membership to agree before changes can be effected.

A. Meetings
There are a lot of upcoming spectrum related meetings in 2008, such as WP7D (April & October),
APG2011-1 (March), COSPAR (July), URSI (August), Regional IAU meeting (August). It is important
for members to be aware, attend if possible and report back.

ACTION 1: Secretary to coordinate the compilation of a list of future meetings. To be circulated
to members and posted/updated on the web,
ACTION 2: Members to report back to RAFCAP from meetings (APG2011-1: Chung ; WP7D: Ohishi ; ....).
Volunteers for reporting encouraged.

B. Membership issues.
The Chair wishes to step down after 6 years. Venkat is leaving India to work in South Africa. The
NZ and Taiwan members have been dormant. ACTION 3: Secretary to communicate with NZ and Taiwan
members, to ascertain involvement,.

* ACTION 4: Praveen Kumar from GMRT has been nominated as a new RAFCAP member to replace Venkat.
* ACTION 5: The meeting suggested a new category of RAFCAP "associates" who, although not members,
wish to be on our email lists and remain involved. First candidates for "associate status are
Venkat and Yashwant Gupta.
* ACTION 6: Tzioumis was nominated as the new Chair, and Haiyan as the new Secretary. Both
candidates agreed to accept the nominations (after some persuasion...).

Actions 4-6 need the agreement of the membership before the come into force. This was effected via
email in May 2008 and the changes were accepted.
