misc
- We will start by asking invitees to support their own travel and participation
- The discussion will be available via WebEx, so a panelist could possibly participate that way
- We anticipate an hour for the panel, plus maybe 15 minutes
- Perhaps a 5 minute "ignite"-type talk from each panelist, to motivate Q&A and leave plenty of opportunity for discussion?
conclusion, action items, moving forward
- Anne to draft panel discussion abstract, circulate for feedback
- Anne is away 4/27 - 5/5.
- We need to identify and invite panelists ASAP
Supporting material
- "Public Access to Federally-Supported Research and Development Data and Publications", excerpts:
- "The America COMPETES Reauthorization Act of 2010 (ACRA; Public Law 111-358), calls for coordination of Federal science agency research and policies related to the dissemination and long-term stewardship of the results of unclassified research supported wholly or in part by funding from the Federal science agencies, including both digital data and peer-reviewed scholarly publications." [emphasis by Anne]
- As part of this planning process, a group of cooperating agencies (see list below) has requested that the National Research Council (NRC) Division on Behavioral and Social Sciences and Education (DBASSE) organize two planning meetings. The agendas of these two meetings (one focusing on scientific data, and the other on scholarly publications) will primarily comprise time for stakeholder input, with brief introductory addresses by a select few experts and summarizing commentary by equally few rapporteurs."
