In addition, useful collegial exchanges took place between panel members and individual ARL investigators outside of scheduled meetings as ARL staff members sought additional clarification about panel comments or questions and drew on panel members' contacts and sources of information.

The 2010 Board meeting focused on the assessment process, and discussions with the ARL management team led to improvements in the assessment process in terms of the panels receiving timely read-ahead materials for their meetings, the development of the panel meeting agendas, and more attentiveness to the assessment process time lines. Also, some Board members attended the annual ARL Program Formulation Workshop in 2009 and 2010; at these workshops the ARL directorates discussed their programs with the directorates' customers and stakeholders.

The Board and its panels reviewed selected examples of the standards and measurements activities and the technological research presented by ARL; it was not possible to review all ARL programs and projects exhaustively. The Board's goal was to identify and report salient examples of accomplishments and opportunities for further improvement with respect to the technical merit of the ARL work, its perceived relevance to ARL's definition of its mission, and apparent specific elements of ARL's resource infrastructure that is intended to support the technical work.
