And I know we did not attend that meeting. I wish I had thought to follow up with you after the campaign was brought up, but I'm sure that after a few weeks it slipped from my radar. Therefore, I agree with your assessment of the reason for lack of data collection. As you suggested, if we can be more involved in choosing the time of the campaigns, it would certainly elliminate this problem in unusual circumstances since we'd be expecting them. Also, considering that there are limited opportunities to do these scans, we could select times that would be the most valuable. I'm sure we'd be glad to provide that information if it is then reasonable for you to work it into your sequence. It seems that April is not that valuable; perhaps you can tell us how often and how many more of these campaigns we can do before we return to nominal operations. As always, we appreciate your efforts, Danny ----- Original Message ----- From: Maria Schellpfeffer Date: Tuesday, March 28, 2006 10:03 am Subject: Re: February Ingress > Hi Danny, > > I'm trying to put together the ISA on not collecting the data > during the > last ingress campaign.
