Having one more AC we hope that the quality and robustness of this IGS product will improve and that especially the number of missing satellites could be reduced (we need at least 3 contributing ACs for each satellite!). MIT - Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Thomas Herring) MIT will contribute to the Final Products. The large network of 150 stations used by MIT will significantly improve the maintenance of the IGS network. Having for all of their stations a 5-min clock solution it will be a valuable contribution to the IGS Time and Frequency Product. During the last months the new products were evaluated. Their impact on the combination was tested to ensure that no systematic effects in the combined products will occur. The high quality of the products from the new ACs revealed by those tests justify their inclusion. We thank the new ACs for all their efforts and for making their products available to the IGS community.
