| PET C & T Implementation Plan proposes a coordinated approach to address ExComm Vision |
| Addresses only "Collaboration & Training" which is essentially tools & technologies at intersection of C/C and Training -- not basic web, for example |
| PET-wide as proposed; some tasks for all sites, others (initially) local |

| Currently assume "integrated system" is only necessary for synchronous collab |
| Asynch collab systems (i.e. Lotus Notes) do not seem to be of interest in PET, but isolated capabilities may be useful |
