The last day for comment is December 31, 2013!  If this is a topic you care about, please take a few minutes to read and comment on the principles as currently drafted.  Based on the comments, the Principles will be finalized early in 2014 at which point endorsement by a wide variety of organizations will be sought.

You might have luck on the ESIP side .. for AGU ESSI, it might be easier to get individuals to endorse it rather than AGU as a whole ... knowing AGU, if we forwarded it to them in some official capacity, they'd have their lawyers look it over and never bother asking anyone who actually deals with data.
