RTT Analysis Workshop Synthesis
Paper
• Purpose: To summarize the science workshop and
communicate the deliberations and recommendations
from the RTT to the UCSRB, WATs, and other interested
parties.
• Challenges:
– Needed to capture and communicate scientific information for
multiple audiences (technical and non-technical)
– How to answer Key Management Questions with less than
perfect information
– Time: There’s never enough time to deliberate, wordsmith,
format, etc.
