NASA ADVISORY COUNCIL (NAC), Jan 17-18, 2023, virtual

Update, Jauary 17, 7:45 am ET:  JUST got a copy of the agenda by requesting it (still not posted on the NAC website). It shows the public meeting starting this morning at 10:15 am ET, not 9:00 am ET. And they said the WebEx links have changed. The correct links are on the NAC website. Don’t use the ones in the Federal Register notice.
