[Esip-dds] DDS telecon notes, next steps

[Anne Wilson]

Hi all,

Thank you for a good telecon today!  Here are the notes and other 
materials: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Telecon_03.21.13_materials.

Highlights:

We agreed on a working version of our cluster mission statement: 
http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Cluster_mission_statement.

We discussed the summer panel discussion, which would help determine 
possible scopes for the Survey.  Carol/Erin (that interesting two-headed 
being ;)) may make this a plenary session. The outcome would be a white 
paper that summarizes what was learned and helps to frame a potential 
workshop to held subsequently that would include representatives from 
beyond ESIP.

We are thinking of two parts to that session: a presentation from one or 
more "visionaries of data" to help us think in new ways, followed by the 
panel discussion itself.  We have a wiki page for planning the session 
here: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Summer_2013_panel_discussion. 
Please contribute!!

I have also proposed a follow on working group session at the summer 
meeting to discuss what was learned from the panel discussion and how to 
move forward with that information, including writing the white paper.

So, our tasks for the next month is to write the abstract for the panel 
discussion, identify a visionary (or two) to invite, and identify 
agencies and eventually individuals to invite to participate in the 
panel discussion.

Thanks again for your interest and participation!

Anne
