the attendees and agreed upon . The action items and updates to any of the issues will continue to be discussed during LANDCOM ’ s monthly CIS WG VTCs , in which the same audience participates .
Given the complexities of interoperability in a multinational environment , the CIS community is working hard and cooperatively , to overcome shortfalls and find solutions to difficult problems . This is demonstrated every year during interoperability exercises leading up to units assuming the role of the NRF through working solutions and sharing of those solutions across the community . This year ’ s conference was able to serve that end and enabled interoperability as issues were discussed , solutions were shared , and most importantly , leaders in this effort got to form relationships with each other . For that , LANDCOM is grateful to NRDC-GRC for the outstanding efforts in making this a quality event and for showing all participants the beautiful city of Thessaloniki .
