In preparation for the eNavigation 2012 conference in Seattle, WA 6-7 November 2012, you are asked to consider the following questions:

1. What operational or business challenges do you currently face that e-navigation could solve? 
2. What do you see as the role of the Federal Government in e-navigation? 
3. What e-Navigation solution(s) should the Federal Government pursue as its highest priority? 
4. What is the most effective way for the Federal Government to collaborate with the maritime industry on the development of e-navigation policies and services?

If you attend the conference (and I strongly urge you to do so), please give some consideration to these questions and provide your input during the discussion periods. Feel free to comment here as well.
