  I discuss developments in the area of nucleon resonance excitations that are
necessary to bring our understanding of nucleon structure in the regime of
strong QCD to a qualitatively new level. They involve the collection of high
quality data in various channels, a more rigorous approach in the search for
"missing" quark model states, an effort to compute some critical quantities in
nucleon resonance excitations from first principles, i.e. QCD, and a proposal
aimed at obtaining an understanding of a fundamental quantity in nucleon
structure.
