Editor's Notes

  • #2 Part of small team that supports ecteg,
  • #3 …and give you a sense of our progress so far …which will go into place October 1 …the design and direction of… Let’s begin…
  • #4 NSF GEO Directorate and Division of Advanced Cyberinfrastructure (ACI)
  • #5 Data Facilities, Funded Projects, IT/FOSS, end-users
  • #7 Science: This is where its advantageous to be an end-user workshop this late in the game. After submitting the report from this workshop, you have a concrete way to make sure these needs are met.
  • #8 Leadership Council: Representatives from committees and teams, 5 at large members elected from the community
  • #9 CDF: Federally funded data centers. Support development of shared infrastructure services Liaisons: Partner with initiatives and programs external to the NSF core constituency of academic geoscientists Engagement: …with other initiatives, end-users, educators, professional societies, and publishers
  • #13 Outline Decision-Making Process Internal Governing Structure Recommend and/or initiate Working Groups Select Leadership of the Committee Determine how to tackle Priority Issues Establish mechanisms to coordinate Cross-Membership (Committees)
  • #14 Thank Gelu & Dale
