The proceedings of the first Navigator Forum workshop, in May 2006, are now available in a printed book, and on-line at http://planetquest.jpl.nasa.gov/ documents/ NavigatorScience2006.pdf. We intend to produce a similar document from the Small- and Mid-Scale Mission workshop, so written contributions will be solicited (details TBD).

A summary of the results of this workshop will be made available to the currently-meeting ExoPlanet Task Force (ExoPTF), http://www.nsf.gov/mps/ast/exoptf.jsp. Before the Decadal Survey begins, it is important that the exoplanet community reach agreement on the options for future ground and space projects, so this Workshop should also contribute to that consensus.

We note that an international conference "In the Spirit of Bernard Lyot: The direct detection of planets and circumstellar disks in the 21st century" will be held in Berkeley, CA, June 4-8, 2007, http://www.lyot2007.org/. The Lyot conference will address planet and disk science to be done with current and planned coronagraphs in the relatively near term from the ground and from space. The Small and Mid-Scale Mission workshop will explore exoplanet science with future space missions of all types, including interferometers, and will focus on longer term space mission concepts to detect and characterize terrestrial planets. Thus, despite the common theme of planet detection, there should be relatively little overlap between the two meetings.
