     3:00-3:30   Panel Discussion    "How do we make it happen?"

The goals of this Special Session at the Madison AAS meeting are

to inform the community about the project and to invite participation
to establish a framework for further discussions leading to a better understanding of what observational approach, what instrumentation, and what facilities might most fruitfully be applied.

Our goal is to organize a new project and to invite the stellar physics community to participate. This organizational meeting is planned by a steering committee. This particular AAS meeting is appropriate because meetings of the Solar Physics Division of the AAS and of the GONG Project will also take place in conjunction with the Madison meeting. Many of the astronomers who are interested in asteroseismology will already be attending the Madison meeting.
