OPAG TITAN WORKING GROUP

At the last OPAG meeting it was proposed that a group be formed to 
identify and maintain a focus on areas where progress is most needed 
to ensure readiness for future exploration of Titan.  Zibi Turtle and
Athena Coustenis agreed to coordinate such a group, which will serve 
as a resource for both science and technical guidance.  This group 
will also participate in the upcoming decadal survey through 
preparation of white papers.  Those interested in supporting any 
aspect of this Titan group should get in touch with Zibi or Athena 
(Elizabeth.Turtle@jhuapl.edu or Athena.Coustenis@obspm.fr).
