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.
- 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
- Language in charter that outlines the functions specific to the Technology and Architecture Standing Committee. Note: highlight function to work with funded projects to make sure end-user requirement are met.
- Through the All-Hands Meeting governance sessions, the community brainstormed and discussed high priority issues that they felt EarthCube Demonstration Governance should address in the coming year. On the final day, these priorities were refined and then assigned to a standing body within the Governance Structure. These priorities are what the community at the All-Hands Meeting thought would be best for the Science Committee to begin addressing. It is important to note that these priority issues this is just one example, or a starting point, that came out of the All-Hands Meeting. Further priorities and action plans can be discussed during this meeting’s discussion time and further down the road. These priority issues are: Develop a strategy and priorities for use cases and scientific engagement first by reviewing the End-User Workshops and then recommending and pursuing follow on activities The Engagement of Scientific Community and incorporated them into the structure of the work groups
