This document summarizes an EarthCube meeting to discuss funded demonstration projects and governance. It outlines the agenda, including introductions from new project teams and a discussion of the role of funded projects. Key points include that the Test Governance project will coordinate the demonstration governance process and report outcomes to NSF. Both the Technology & Architecture Committee and Science Committee outlined initial steps, including forming subcommittees to analyze use cases and gaps. The meeting concluded with a discussion of how funded projects can best work with standing committees through formal work plans, representatives, and regular communication.

Editor's Notes
- Make sure we explain the logic behind the agenda, and the sequence of the conversations. We are starting with Functions and Priorities, digging into what those really mean for this group. Then moving onto discussion about leadership, informed by the previous discussions.
- Demonstration Governance structure as agreed upon by the EarthCube Community at the All-Hands Meeting. Call special attention to the Science Committee here. **Need to mention interconnects of committees & teams: not in a vacuum. Examples: cross membership in science and Tech committees encouraged. Role of Funded Teams. **Oversees the develop **The Technology and Architecture Standing Committee is tasked with facilitating the development of the technology that is part of EarthCube, including stewardship of the ongoing architecture. Some members of the Technology and Architecture Standing Committee should also interact with the Science Standing Committee in order to ensure coordination between the two groups. of technology
- Take a moment to describe the role of ECTEG Project, AZGS, and U of A. (Lee, I’ll let you fill this in, since you know the relationships a little better than we do).
- Hello, my name is Anna Katz and as Lee mentioned, I work as a project coordinator within the EarthCube Office. I’d like to take a quick step back and explain what we hope to get out of the next portion of the meeting. In this next part of the meeting, we’ll be covering the functions and priority issues for the Science Committee. We’ll first go over the priorities and functions as they are spelled out in then Demonstration Governance Charter. We’ll then dedicate group discussion time to really dive deep into what those functions and priorities really mean to a group like ours, what actions must be taken, and if there are any evident gaps. Finally, we’ll move the conversation toward the structure and leadership of this Committee, building off of the Priority and Functions conversation As the demonstration governance structure showed, there are 3 standing committees. This is the language from the Charter that outlines the functions of ALL Committees. And The emphasis here in on coordination among the different governance bodies. There was strong consensus behind the idea that not one of these groups should be acting alone, and that consistent and effective communication should be present between all groups. So as you can see, this involves the Science Committee to coordinate with group like the Leadership Council, Working Groups, Liaison and Engagement Team, as well as the other Standing Committees. It is also important to note: cross membership is encouraged
