<div dir="ltr"><div>Hi all -</div><div>Our regularly monthly call is tomorrow (Friday) afternoon. For the second half of last year, our meetings were focused on finishing/polishing the  ROI paper. It was published in December and we've had a bit of a hiatus since then.</div><div><br></div><div>Publishing the ROI paper means each of our three original objectives has reached a milestone of a sort (see wiki entry for tomorrow's call). What we should do now is start a frank discussion of where we want to go next. Attendance at our calls has dropped off with the focus on the papers. </div><div><br></div><div>Some questions we might address:</div><div>Do we want to start some new projects? Generate membership? If so, toward what objectives? Continuing one or more of these topics? If so, is this group the right place, or is there another ESIP cluster with overlap? If that is the case, another option might be that we dissolve this group and take what we've learned to other ESIP collaboration areas. We need input here.</div><div><br></div><div>Our wiki page, see tomorrow's entry -- top entry under "News"</div><div><a href="http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Sustainable_Data_Management">http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Sustainable_Data_Management</a><br></div><div><br></div><div>Here are the call parameters:</div><div><ul style="line-height:1.5em;list-style-type:square;margin:0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em;padding:0px;color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:12.8px"><li style="margin-bottom:0.1em"><p style="margin:0.4em 0px 0.5em;line-height:1.5em;font-size:12.8px"><i>===Second Friday of the month, 4PM Eastern (UTC-5 or UTC-4, depending on time of year)====</i><br></p><p style="margin:0.4em 0px 0.5em;line-height:1.5em;font-size:12.8px">Please join in at <a class="external gmail-free" href="https://www.gotomeeting.com/join/618011013" style="text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(102,51,102);background:url("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAAIVJREFUeF6tjzsKg0AQhi09mimsFJLCzpNYCGKbK3gAtfUIljaCoKCCZIs8MMV2v+yCg8siWlh8zOtjhjEAEFmeIopDQtTrTJNEZIxhWysiNfULJFJjDzGnba/aBt4+wAuBzD+tg6a8SVkXf4GET96xmDxNzP39IvE/PPDtXIyVpYinv14A5F0laJ8oYFgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=") 100% 50% no-repeat;padding-right:13px">https://www.gotomeeting.com/join/618011013</a> <b>Activities/Special Topic Discussion Meeting:</b></p><ul style="line-height:1.5em;list-style-type:square;margin:0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em;padding:0px;font-size:12.8px"><li style="margin-bottom:0.1em">To join the meeting from your computer, tablet or smartphone, click:</li></ul><dl style="margin-top:0.2em;margin-bottom:0.5em;font-size:12.8px"><dd style="line-height:1.5em;margin-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.1em;margin-right:0px"><a class="external gmail-free" href="https://www.gotomeeting.com/join/618011013" style="text-decoration-line:none;color:rgb(102,51,102);background:url("data:image/png;base64,iVBORw0KGgoAAAANSUhEUgAAAAoAAAAKCAYAAACNMs+9AAAAGXRFWHRTb2Z0d2FyZQBBZG9iZSBJbWFnZVJlYWR5ccllPAAAAIVJREFUeF6tjzsKg0AQhi09mimsFJLCzpNYCGKbK3gAtfUIljaCoKCCZIs8MMV2v+yCg8siWlh8zOtjhjEAEFmeIopDQtTrTJNEZIxhWysiNfULJFJjDzGnba/aBt4+wAuBzD+tg6a8SVkXf4GET96xmDxNzP39IvE/PPDtXIyVpYinv14A5F0laJ8oYFgAAAAASUVORK5CYII=") 100% 50% no-repeat;padding-right:13px">https://www.gotomeeting.com/join/618011013</a></dd></dl><ul style="line-height:1.5em;list-style-type:square;margin:0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em;padding:0px;font-size:12.8px"><li style="margin-bottom:0.1em">You can also dial in using your phone.</li></ul><dl style="margin-top:0.2em;margin-bottom:0.5em;font-size:12.8px"><dd style="line-height:1.5em;margin-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.1em;margin-right:0px">United States: +1 (571) 317-3122</dd></dl><ul style="line-height:1.5em;list-style-type:square;margin:0.3em 0px 0px 1.6em;padding:0px;font-size:12.8px"><li style="margin-bottom:0.1em">Access Code: 618-011-013</li></ul></li></ul></div><div><br></div><div>See you tomorrow!</div><div>Margaret</div><div><br></div><br clear="all"><div><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature"><div dir="ltr"><font face="monospace, monospace"><span style="font-size:small">Margaret O'Brien</span><br><span style="font-size:small">ORCID: 0000-0002-1693-8322</span><br><span style="font-size:small">Information Management</span><br><span style="font-size:small">Marine Science Institute, UCSB</span><br><span style="font-size:small">Santa Barbara, CA 93106</span><br><span style="font-size:small">805-893-2071 (voice)</span><br><a href="http://environmentaldatainitiative.org" target="_blank">http://environmentaldatainitiative.org</a><br><a href="http://sbc.marinebon.org" target="_blank">http://sbc.marinebon.org</a></font><div><font face="monospace, monospace"><a href="http://sbc.lternet.edu" target="_blank">http://sbc.lternet.edu</a></font></div><div><br><div><pre cols="72"><pre cols="72"><br></pre></pre></div></div></div></div></div></div>
