While I do not want to interfere into the discussion about the next location 
for the CDS meeting I would like to say a sentence or two about the NSF funding.


I am not very experienced in obtaining NSF funding comparing to the other 
members of Carolina Dynamical System group but my feeling is that the group 
should apply this year for tree year funding instead of one year. The upshot of 
getting three year support will be that the group will not have to go through 
the process of writing grant proposal next year again.


Secondly, my feeling is that having multiple co-pi(s) on the grant proposal 
from the ranks of the long terms members of the group and potential organizers 
of the next 3 meetings will increase group's chances to re-new funding. 
Co-pi(s) role in the writing this specific grant proposal is simple and not 
very time consuming. It boils down to submitting NSF Biography and a support 
letter. This will also demonstrate to NSF the fact that CDS meeting is a 
multi-university effort.



Most Kind Regards,
Predrag Punosevac
