Dear colleagues, Working Group 3 of the IVS ("VLBI2010 Working Group") examined current and future requirements for geodetic VLBI systems, including all components from antenna to analysis, and prepared a final report with recommendations for a new generation of systems. The report is available as pdf file at the IVS web site: http://ivscc.gsfc.nasa.gov/about/wg/wg3/IVS_WG3_report_050916.pdf In addition, a printed version of the report will be sent to the IVS Associate Members as well as interested parties. The report is currently being printed. We would like to ask the IVS Associate Members to provide the Coordinating Center with addresses of their funding agencies as well as other organizations the report should be sent to. The report is an excellent means to provide these agencies with a vision of the future of VLBI and may have an influence on future decisions. Other interested people may also request a copy. We will send them out as long as the supply lasts.
