Thank you to all those who were able to attend the DAAAC Symposium! The weather in San Antonio was great, but not so good in other parts of the country, making travel rather difficult. The final attendance was 59 people from 34 companies and organizations. A full list of the attendees can be downloaded from the DAAAC webpage at www.daaac.swri.org. The presentations given can also be downloaded from the DAAAC webpage.
We extend a special thank you to John Yan from Eaton
for the guest presentation. SwRI hopes that all of the material
presented was informative and useful. The open discussion was
very good, with lots of feedback to SwRI on the proposed DAAAC
Consortium. As a result of the discussions, SwRI will revise the
proposal and contracts given to the attendees. New documents
should be mailed out within a few weeks. We will also send these
out to those people and companies that were not able to attend
the meeting, but had requested the proposal and contract. Given
the feedback, the new proposal will include a more detailed
possible test plan to be discussed and finalized at the
consortium kick-off meeting. The kick-off meeting and official
start date for the consortium has been moved to June 13, 2008 to
coincide with the next HEDGE and Clean Diesel V PAC meetings.
