l Recall:l Recurring issue: CTW listed as underperforming.

(On basis of financial rather than technical arguments, and also because of lack of satisfaction surveys.)

l Selected Comments:l “Stick with the current approach of inviting the best people in the

area to discuss topics of emerging interest in communications. The current format of invited presentations and panels works really well. This workshop has the most fruitful technical discussions of any that I attend”

l “It would be great if you could diversify the topics”l “Emerging technologies in communications such as nano

networks”

l “Fewer talks”l “If anything, the technical program was too packed, and sessions

ran long, resulting in a very long day (8:30am to 7pm)”

Scuba Diving on Curacao

Some of the best diving is here (hard and soft coral)

Shore diving is possible in many places, boat preferred in a few spotsUseful to have a guide for some sites

One great wreck dive is the Superior, near the hotel, a bit deep at 100ft

Tugboat is also a nice wreck, very shallow at 15ft
