Plasmasphere-Magnetosphere Interactions Wiki Page Is Up
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
From: Jerry Goldstein <jgoldstein at swri.edu>, Joe Borovsky 

The GEM 2008 meeting kicked off our new focus group, "Plasmasphere-
Magnetosphere Interactions" (PMI).  We had four well-attended breakout 
sessions and one tutorial (by Maria Spasojevic), all of which generated a 
lot of really welcome discussion, in the GEM tradition.

The PMI focus group's Wiki page is now up and running:  
http://aten.igpp.ucla.edu/gemwiki/index.php/FG11._Plasmasphere-Magnetosphere_Interactions

On this page, you will find links to several important documents:

(1)      PMI Science Questions from the 2008 GEM Meeting.
We would like community feedback and input on this document, as it will 
guide our investigations in the coming years.

(2)      List of PMI Sessions at the 2008 GEM Meeting.
(3)      Original Focus Group Proposal

(4)      PMI Focus Group Report from the 2008 GEM Meeting.
This is the report to be submitted to the steering committee.

(5)      Miscellaneous Notes from PMI Sessions, taken by Mick Denton and 
Jerry Goldstein.
