• EnergyCentral editor was sent a notice of cooperative linking:
       Editor,
       We have linked your off-shore thrust,
       as we note that seaAWE may well one day replace the dominance of the lower hard-towered habit.
       http://www.energykitesystems.net/notices/2009oct.html#EnergyCentra l
       You are welcome to use text and contact the over-100 researchers in airborne wind energy, many with eyes to the sea.
   
• Cooperation handshake with C. Archer as regards potential morphing of alliances and associations was stated in e-mail. Leadership of Dave Santos at HAWP 2009 conference will be followed here in AWEIA circles.  What is best for the most is sought.      October 8, 2009. 
   
• GWEC has a category of membership that does not cost.
  Application for AWEIA to be a member was made on October 7, 2009.
   
• Dave Santos announced to HAWP 2009 of his attendance and participation intent.
   
• Set passkey for this working folder  EnterMembersOnlyWorkingFolder     Give passkey to those who have expressed interest in growing the AWEIA mission.
   

• "My preference is open membership which can be suspended if a standard is violated. 
  The most important standard is safety.   Growing the field is a major goal.     
  Technical & economic worth of a member is secondary.
  A key will be to have the big players join & support AWEIA.    This will be a challenge.  
  Transparency & high principles will make it hard for them to hold out.       ds"
   

• Domain obtained and content started:   AWEIA 
   
• Consensus  reached on name of association via e-mail conferences.
   
• AirborneWindEnergy group in Yahoo  was formed to support the coming AWEIA mission.   Founded: Mar 13, 2009
   
• EnergyKiteSystems.net was founded with eye from group of AWE workers for AWEIA future.
   
• KiteTypes article and Kite Controls  article bring some AWE workers together.
   
• Drachen Foundation conference on high altitude wind power gives cornerstone to renaissance in kite energy. Report spawns a gathering of communications among many kite energy workers. Dave Lang summarizing some AWECS systems in a PDF document for all.
   
• Dave Santos demonstrates working AWECS systems at world kite festival.  He charges cell phone with AWECS. He energizes LEDs with AWECS. He would go on to demonstrate many innovative AWECS arrangements chronicled in his web and in AWEIA-related web pages..
   
• Dave Culp forwards decades of AWE via sea-tug schemes. KiteShip, KiteTug.   Others followed. Robust ship-tug AWE and even KitVes project types are forming.
   
• Italy and Netherlands have high altitude wind power meetings, file patents, and demonstrate feasibility of what was found started in the 1970s by Selsam, Roberts, and others.   Patents blossom.
   
• In 1970s there was a flowering of AWE patents and notarized innovations.  A slowing of interest would occur, only later to blossom with the green revolution, oil crisis, and kiting interests.
   
• 1833   “We might extend the application of [wind] power to the heights of the clouds,
  by means of kites.”  ~utopian technologist John Etzler, 1833        This is part of the foundation for AWEIA.
   
• For nearly 4000 years,  wind energy was being converted to mechanical energy by AWECS (moving kite lines, moving people's arms, tugging anchors, etc.). Following such lead, that mechanical energy is being mined to change the face of energy sourcing for the world.
