The NSWG is actively looking for folks to help in 2017. Content curators: we have a few topics in mind, and are open to more. Set up webinars or focused discussions. The individual will select a topic and
suggest papers for an informal discussion. They will also work with leadership to suggest a webinar speaker on the topic. Co-chair: help set group direction, work products, and outreach. Help with administering the group. Tasks might include web
updates, publicity, finding speakers, coordinating webinars, and
providing leadership. * * * * * INCOSE Natural Systems Working Group (NSWG) Chair: Curt McNamara —
