As promised at our meeting in Toronto yesterday, I am appending a proposed set of regional groups of AMICO museums and testbed members. The idea behind the groupings is to group each testbed member with one or more AMICO members to provide technical support, facilitate discussions, and allow face to face meetings. Where it seems to make sense, I have also suggested some subgroups within some regions which might be able to meet more often on a informal basis. I have starred a few testbed participants who are more geographically isolated from AMICO members in their groupings.
