							To set the stage for discussion at the workshop, the 
							relevant issues are summarized in three sections.  | 
						
						
							
							
								- The first section summarizes the end user 
								requirements and lessons learned identified by 
								the stakeholders.
 
								 
								- The second section addresses technical 
								issues covering the Global-Sat Constellation 
								concept of operations framework wherein 
								dedicated payloads can be built all over the 
								world and integration done in states that build 
								the payloads. 
 
								 
								Additionally, issues covering common ground 
								segment, common launch interface and deployment 
								system, inter-satellite communication system, 
								and availability of spares across all 
								participants will be described, which would 
								reflect the needs and input from all the 
								international stakeholders. Basic tenants for a 
								collaborative frame work are proposed including 
								data collection and distribution, value added 
								services, leveraging of partner resources, cost 
								structures and responsibilities.  
								 
								- The final section covers business models, 
								including funding, management and operational 
								issues. Based on these comprehensive 
								assessments, potential partners expect to have 
								the necessary understanding and insights needed 
								to participate in the system definition, 
								deployment, planning and funding identification 
								activities.
