Agenda

Approval of September Minutes
President's Report
- Highlights
  - Moving toward a single membership non-profit organization: On October 6, a special Virtual Assembly Meeting on Federation/Foundation Merge was held. The meeting provided information on merging the Foundation for Earth Science (501(c)3) & legal entity) with the Federation for Earth Science Information Partners (ESIP). Key drivers include reduction of confusion about the two separate entities and streamlining organizational structure, policies and policies that would enable the assembly, leadership team, the board and office to run ESIP more effectively. The informational package is available for all. The next step for the assembly is to pass the member resolution agreeing to the merge. Assembly vote will begin on Nov 6 and close on Dec 6. On October 7, the foundation for Earth Science board members met and passed the board resolution approving the merger proposal. The board is currently preparing the bylaws for the new organization.
  - Significance: We had a strong ESIP presence at the International Data Week (Sept 11-17) including ESIP exhibit space, ImHere app, members attendance of World Data System forum, multiple presentations at SciDataCon, International Data Forum, a hackathons how to workshop, and attendance of many RDA sessions. Thanks to all who have attended and worn the ESIP hat. Special appreciation goes to to Erin and the staff for their outstanding support and outreach effort.

- Data Stewardship - (1) J Goldstein, HK Ramapriyan, and M Mayernik submitted a manuscript concerning the extent of Digital Object Identifier (DOI) use to Data Science Journal in the hopes of having it accepted and included in its upcoming special issue "20 years of Persistent Identifiers." This is a culmination of many committee discussions concerning the writing of papers to advance the scholarship on identifiers. (2) We used last month's edition of our standing committee meeting to "host" the ESIP-wide International Data Week review.

- Nominations - Job Description Doc
  - Now that the assembly call has happened, the Nominations committee is getting into full swing. We already have a few suggestions that we are working with. We plan on a call in the coming days to help define our plan of attack. If you have suggestions, or are wanting to serve, please let Denise or another member of the committee know. An ESIP-wide call for nominations will be coming soon.
    - And, it's ESIP awards nominations time too.
- Products & Services
  - New Incubator RFP out (thanks, A.B.); Software guidelines out for public comment (and now official, dedicated panel oral session at AGU 2016).
- Semantic Technology
  - Ontology portal evaluation is beginning. Using the ESIP evaluation framework from previous NASA work.
  - Looking to host a semantic symposium the day before the Winter ESIP meeting. Would include other Earth science groups such as RDA, OGC, and EarthCube to develop a semantics roadmap

Tabled

- “How to talk about ESIP” ideas and how to grow ESIP ambassadors
- How to document ESIP success stories - there is a technical and programmatic effort. As easy as tagging posts with #esipfed or some other hashtag, but then what do we do all the tagged content, where do we consolidate that, is that how we want to proceed with capturing success stories - let's think about this
  - NOAA has some existing framework resources on this, EarthCube is also using NOAA's work on this.
