In attendance were representatives from sustaining member institutions and organizations, including several newcomers to the program, and RFP convenors.
Several accomplishments serve as evidence of the program's success over the past year and a half.
In addition, the NLII has established an active communications program that has influenced thousands of people through its World Wide Web site, the publication of white papers and meeting notes, satellite broadcasts, speaking engagements, and the recently released NLII Viewpoint, a compendium of articles related to NLII's theme and objectives. The NLII also has begun to identify and showcase several prototypes that serve as concrete examples of its objectives. There are, however, some issues that need to be addressed. The first is what Dr. Twigg referred to as the big tent problem. But so far we've been trying to put everything that we're doing under this one tent.
