[MOIMS] Area Evolution

[John Garrett]

Hi Nestor,

Any feedback from discussions of this plan?

I'm not strongly in favor or opposed to this plan.  There will almost always be 
some overlaps and some missed points, but having fewer areas might minimize 
them.  The best and the brightest came up with our current arrangement only a bit 
more than 5 years ago.

Another idea I might throw out is to put Archiving and Certification activities 
into a separate area.  They are the most different from everything else and 
having them in a separate area may make it possible to draw in more outside 
support and possibly have a some group of National Archives/Libraries along with 
reps from the Space Agencies help set priorities for them.  By another measure, 
the number of document downloads, these groups are responsible for 20% or more of 
the downloads.  That metric might also support them as a separate area.  This is 
simply my musings, haven't discussed this with others.

Good Health and Much Peace,
-JOhn
