The seven components of the I&GA
vision will interact synergistically, as we
develop them over time. We illustrate
these interactions in Figure 1.
Finally, I strongly encourage you to
participate in the CIS Industrial and
Governmental Activities by volunteering
in any of its committees and task
forces. If you are interested in being
involved in these activities or have any
suggestions for CIS I&GA, please do not
hesitate to contact me.
