I had planned to attend, but apparently lost my mind or at least memory on that day(!). I wanted to add a little more context to the suggestion about creating guidelines on repositories based on the discussion that happened at the Data Stewardship face to face meeting in January which gave rise to the idea. The context might change the focus or approach a bit, so wanted to provide it since not all of those who are discussing the idea were present at that meeting. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>The issue came up from both a senior researcher and a data manager who said that they are often asked from other researchers (or “customers” I suppose you could say from the data manager’s POV) what is the best way/ place to store their research data (and why). While each of them can answer that question in their own way based on their experience and exposure to archives and/or repositories, they have not been able to find a reference that they can point to which would provide good, fairly quick answers to these kinds of questions. They thought a guide targeted to _<i>researchers</i>_ would be the most effective; we also discussed turning the information into a tutorial or learning resource that could be referenced as well (and, of course, included in registries of such learning resources!). We talked about taking this on as an activity as part of the Data Stewardship Committee, but haven’t yet come up with a plan for how to do that. So, I am very glad that the Sustainability cluster is interested in working on this. What I might suggest as an approach, though, based on the discussion at the ESIP Winter meeting is to see if we could come up with a survey or some other way to ask the folks (our colleagues) who get these kinds of questions from others what are the most frequently asked questions that they get from researchers or the areas that are most puzzling and troublesome to researchers who are [simply] trying to be responsible about putting their research data somewhere, but don’t want to get into the nitty gritty details. The survey results could help guide the areas to discuss within this broad topic, and may also help the group decide how best to represent the answers to the questions, i.e., as a manuscript </span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:Wingdings;color:#1F497D'>è</span><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'> paper, or a checklist, a FAQ, a tutorial, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Anyway, I will plan on attending future cluster meetings, and offer what help I can on this activity. I think this could be a good resource! I am assuming that the group would be looking for already existing resources that might provide useful, and that is part of what could / should be included in this folder or in zotero. Is that correct?<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Nancy<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><a href="https://kmotifs.com/"><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";text-decoration:none'><img border=0 width=192 height=48 id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image003.png@01D6292E.345098E0" alt="_LOGOhiResTRANSPARENT_4800pxRGB"></span></a><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";color:#1F497D'>Nancy J.
