[Esip-sustainabledm] AGU RoI related session?

Mon Apr 17 17:13:31 EDT 2017

Hi All -
thanks for keeping this going! notes say that the session is being led 
by these 4:
Anne Wilson
Kerstin Lenhert
Nancy Ritchie
Corinna Gries

the regular cluster-call was Friday, with this on the agenda, but none 
of the 4 co-submitters were there. I know some were traveling that week.
