Astronomy Infrastructure Working Group Discussion Paper: Request for Input

In October 2014, the Department of Industry invited key office holders in the Australian astronomy sector to participate in a Working Group that would provide advice on the governance of Australia's astronomy infrastructure.   The Working Group has now produced a Discussion Paper (see attached) and is seeking input from the astronomy community and institutional stakeholders on the analysis and options presented in this paper.    Input can be provided in a written response to astronomygovernance at industry.gov.au<mailto:astronomygovernance at industry.gov.au>  by 6 March 2015 and/or at planned town hall meetings in association with the Decadal Plan discussed hosted by the NCA (see Prof Wyithe's earlier message).   Further details on the consultation/feedback process may be found in the Discussion paper.

The input will be used to develop the Working Group's advice to the Department of Industry, due at the end of March 2015.
