We are organizing the workshop into several main topics. Each topic will be summarized before the workshop in a white paper. The primary role of the workshop is to discuss the white papers and to chart the way for development of the technologies that are necessary for CMBPol.

The workshop will take place at the National Institute of Standards and Technology in Boulder CO.

Please take note of the following regarding access for workshop attendees thru the security gate at NIST:

• Permanent Resident's should present their green card along with a driver's license with picture ID at the card shack in order to gain entrance to NIST.
• Non-US citizens must fill in a form NIST-1260 and send it to the Conference Office in Boulder to Camille Hoffman (Fax: 303-497-5208, E-mail: choffmanboulder.nist.gov) a week in advance of their attendance and be able to present their passport (copies are not acceptable).
