Ladies and
Gentlemen:
Recently, I have received requests
from a number of organizations to participate in the SimSummit. As
you all know, the protocol of the SimSummit round
table is that of a voluntary collaborative of organizations, significant in the
M&S community-of-practice, who self-nominate their participation for
socialization by the Executive Committee and consensus acceptance by the
then-existing membership. See of course www.Sim-Summit.org for background and
current membership. This process, it is felt, preserves the ecumenical and
consensual nature of the initiative. As you may recall, the last such
organization vetted and accepted by this process, at IITSEC in
