Notes on discussions about Mission Statement from Organizing Committee

Steve Griffin, NSF, asked for clarification on the word "promote" since it has at least two different meanings, so there is a question on the table whether "publicize" or "sustain" are better substitutes. He later questioned whether "capacity" should be replaced by "capability".

There was a unanimous decision to remove the word "citizens" in order to realize potential benefits that extend beyond the United States.
