  Goals of the meeting
  Discuss the current status and challenges of HPC integration in USA (combining conclusions with other regions).
  Compile a list of the impediments to integration in two columns: things that can be solved or improved and things that just need to be accommodated or worked around.
  Develop a list of topics we believe would benefit from dedicated working groups. - Develop solutions or plans for solutions in areas when possible
