peer reviewers to gain an individual understanding of the research and
projects. To most effectively use the limited time, please refrain from
passing judgment on another participant's recommendations or advice,
and instead, concentrate on your individual experiences. Based upon the
review of individual projects and the overall Wind Power Program
research portfolio, a report will be compiled by DOE, which will be
publically posted on the DOE Wind and Water Power Program Web site.

reviewers, Wind Power Program staff, and contract support staff will be
in attendance. The event is open to the public based on space
