Abstract:	GNSS user communities and their objectives in the context of existing mechanisms to identify user requirements and resolve conflicts among them, and (2) to identify the types of requirements that may not be fully addressed through existing mechanisms. The paper summarizes GNSS user communities (commercial entities, research and science organizations, US military agencies, US civil agencies, and foreign governments) and identifies the objectives of each community by category (economic factors, scarcity of resource-based factors, issues arising from questions about system stewardship, technical issues, and issues of system control). The paper then identifies significant conflicts among these objectives and discusses, current mechanisms for resolving these conflicts. Finally, the paper identifies several issues that may not be effectively resolved through current mechanisms.
