This page is a working area to create a mission statement for our efforts for the upcoming year. Please chime in.


A possible mission statement spoken at the telecon: "define a set of options for what a decadal survey scope would be" ... would this be a correct rephrasing of that idea: "define a set of possible options regarding the scope for a decadal survey"?


As other reports seem to define scope via a list of statements of task, perhaps "define a set of possible statements of task regarding the scope for a decadal survey".


Rama's comment: How about "Assess need for a data decadal survey and develop a set of possible statements of task defining its scope".


From Chris, how about (building on Rama's): "Outline/Describe Assess the need for a data decadal survey (Survey), develop a set of possible statements of task defining its scope, and assess potential Survey constituencies.".

Proposed path forward to operationalize the mission:

  • Summer Meeting - Panel
    • to develop a short white paper to describe a workshop to be held potentially in the fall of 2013 to define fully the nature, scope, tasks, constituencies for a Data Decadal Survey.
  • Fall 2013 - Workshop
    • The workshop output would be a short report that would be used to persuade potential funders to support and to implement.
  • Outyears - 2014-2015? Data Decadal Survey
