[Esip-dds] Moving forward on panel discussion, feedback by Fri 5/10 please

[Anne Wilson]

Thanks, Joe!   I'm vaguely familiar with a few of those names.  Does 
anyone know (or know of) any of these people and think they would be a 
good panelist?  An NIH, DOE, and/or NCO/NITRD panelist could add an 
interesting perspective, i.e., beyond Earth Science.

I'm wondering how we'll make the decision of who to invite, especially 
via email.  Perhaps a vote?

Workshop discussions will be captured in a summary report and submitted to the Big Data Senior Steering Group and participating agencies.  This report will contribute to recommendations for future multi-agency U.S. Government action.

Key individuals from communities such as the Materials Genome Initiative, Space Weather, Global Climate, Environmental Health, DataOne, iRODS, and the Research Data Alliance will be participating.
