<p class="MsoNormal">Dear COPDESS cluster members, </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I hope this message finds you well. I’m writing today on behalf of the COPDESS team with some updates and request for response from you all.
</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Many of you will know that there has been interest in reinvigorating COPDESS to work on the important issues facing the Earth, space, and environmental sciences. We held an in-person meeting at AGU23 in San Francisco; thanks to all who
were able to attend for providing your input on what issues COPDESS should take up in the future. As a follow-up to that meeting, I’d like to share a few things. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">At AGU23, we collected attendee responses to the question of “what issues should COPDESS take up next?” You can read the lightly-organized responses <a href="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzTFYMDVDNE2xePoKNTdDYJeMoyWpw3MuEGAdve0auw/edit?usp=sharing" title="https://docs.google.com/document/d/1kzTFYMDVDNE2xePoKNTdDYJeMoyWpw3MuEGAdve0auw/edit?usp=sharing">here</a>.
Now, we’re running an anonymous survey based on these responses to rank the urgency and importance of different issues, to inform what COPDESS works on first. <b><span style="background:yellow;mso-highlight:yellow">If you have a chance, <a href="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=0Awko3RAfkm26Y4WJNltpMap5FBkpsZDkWlnblaOvGVUNVBSUlFTQ1NCMFpDU0YzM1JMTTNIVTQ3Sy4u" title="https://forms.office.com/Pages/ResponsePage.aspx?id=0Awko3RAfkm26Y4WJNltpMap5FBkpsZDkWlnblaOvGVUNVBSUlFTQ1NCMFpDU0YzM1JMTTNIVTQ3Sy4u">please
take the short survey, linked here,</a> and give us your opinion.</span> </b>Your responses are anonymous; we’ll leave the survey open until early February. <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We will also be holding <a href="https://2024januaryesipmeeting.sched.com/event/1XYQW/fostering-and-sustaining-the-dialog-between-data-repositories-publishers-and-editors-where-is-copdess-heading" title="https://2024januaryesipmeeting.sched.com/event/1XYQW/fostering-and-sustaining-the-dialog-between-data-repositories-publishers-and-editors-where-is-copdess-heading">a
COPDESS session at the virtual January ESIP meeting</a>, next Thursday, January 25<sup>th</sup>, from 4 to 5:30 PM ET, and plan to begin monthly COPDESS meetings in February. We will keep you posted on those meetings through this email list.

<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you all again for your input and energy!<o:p></o:p></p>
