[Esip-agclimate] Fwd: Scheduling Esip-agclimate telecon + minutes

[Bill Teng]

Minutes of today's (9/6/13) telecon

Attendees: Carol, Erin, Arif, Bill

0. Summary of recent meetings w/ USDA speakers
- LTAR operates at the action level, thus developing relationships with 
it is more immediately promising.
- CCPO operates at the coordination level (and at the USGCRP level), 
across 13 USDA agencies, so it'll probably take more time to get things 
going with it.

1. Prepare for presentation to LTAR and CCPO (overview on ESIP, relevant 
projects by ESIP members, ...)
- Action: Carol will send an ESIP 101 presentation package for Bill to 
use at the Sep. 16 LTAR webex. <== DONE
- Action: Bill will email send request to esip-all re: any members who 
have collaborated or are collaborating with any USDA agencies.
- Known projects (so far): Bill with FAS and WAOB; Menas with NIFA (was 
CSREES).

2. Inventory relevant ESIP assets; define "relevant"
- Discussed working towards some kind of inventory of needs and 
capabilities (both USDA and ESIP) as a goal/deliverable for Jan. ESIP 
meeting.
- Right now, too much is unknown; need to iterate, starting with LTAR 
webex, the next step.
- ESIP is a forum in which any member has a voice. Experience has shown, 
once in, members see the benefits and advantages. Question is how to 
interest potential members who are still on the outside.
- Carol suggested organization that have individuals involved with, or 
who are interested in, USDA: (1) NEON, the capabilities of which LTAR is 
trying to replicate; (2) USGCRP (esp. regarding CCPO); (3) NASA 
HQ/Applied Sciences; (4) USGEO
- Action: Bill to contact some or all.

3. Start planning ESIP Jan. 2014 meeting
- Should have better ideas after LTAR webex (9/16)
- Possible speakers to invite: Walbridge and/or Hohenstein (repeats from 
Chapel HIll but in person); Simon Liu of National Ag Libe and POC for 
LTAR data archive.
- Inventory of assets to focus on.

Please add, modify as needed. Thanks.

Bill
