In addition to attending, all core group members are asked to provide one contact who would serve as an additional contributor to the Future Scenarios Workshop. Additional contributors should include those who either are in the energy or transportation field or have a strong interest in the subject. In order to have a broad diversity of opinions, feel free to suggest those who may have a different opinion than the larger group.
