There has been a long tradition in Nuclear Science of effective partnership between the community and the agencies in charting compelling scientific visions for the future of nuclear science.
Key factors:
1) Informed scientific knowledge as the basis for recommendations
2) Mutual respect among scientific sub-disciplines
3) Commitment to the great good of nuclear science as a discipline
4) Meticulously level playing field leading to respect for the process and its outcomes
5) Appreciation for the wisdom of Ben Franklin
