Things we may do to fulfill our objectives:
- Coordinate the IT&I focused ( Interoperability_and_Technology/Tech_Dive_Webinar_Series)
- Coordination with all IT&I themed committees and clusters
- Quarterly committee/cluster chair telecon
- Coordinate with committees/clusters on ESIP summer and winter meeting sessions
- others???
- Develop a definition of "Data Interoperability" for ESIP
- others???
Things our collaboration area needs to deliver our objectives?
(e.g. Partnerships, in-kind support, staff support)
How will we know we are on the right track?
How will others know what we are doing in & out of ESIP?
