Most of the information I placed here was from two sources:

(1) I personally worked with Don Winter when he was at TRW and when he was at DARPA. I was interviewed by him for a position at TRW. I worked under contract to him the entire time he was at DARPA.

(2) There was some information on the Northrop Grumman website between the time that TRW was acquired and when Mr. Winter was appointed to the position with the Department of the Navy.

Therefore, I have personal knowledge of the information provided, but I have no other documented sources. The original information I placed in this article before I adopted the Rocket Laser Man handle. Rocket Laser Man (talk) 17:32, 4 November 2008 (UTC)

Panel chair of BP-investigation

Donald Winter seems to have worked as panel chair during the investigation of the BP Deepwater_Horizon_oil_spill:

"A large number of decisions were made that were highly questionable and potentially contributed to the blowout of the Macondo well... Virtually all were made in favor of approaches which were shorter in time and lower in cost. That gives us concern that there was not proper consideration of the tradeoffs between cost and schedule and risk and safety." —Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.110.20.135 (talk) 05:49, 8 March 2011 (UTC)
