Approval of February Minutes
President's Report
- Highlights
  - JPL ESIP seminar: A 2 hour event was held on February 22 at JPL to showcase presentations made at the ESIP 2017 Winter meeting. The audience was primarily Earth Science data system technologists. Emily gave an introduction and overview of ESIP, followed by several talks given by various JPLers who attended the meeting and gave oral or poster presentations at the meeting.
  - ESIP response to NSF RFI on Future Needs for Advanced Cyberinfrastructure: Response must be submitted by April 5. Loomio and google doc are being used to draft and discuss a collective response. Draft was due March 10. Next step is for staff to synthesize for review before submission.
  - ESIP Board Meeting: First 2017 ESIP Board Meeting was held on March 2. Board officers were elected: Chair-Emily; Treasurer-Helen; Secretary-Christine. Financial report included a successful FY16 audit. Nomination Committee was approved (Chair-Tracey Pilone, Sophie Hou, Doug Fils, Karl Benedict, Pat Leahy). Near term focus: ESIP policies, processes and producers.
  - Kudos: new ESIP website looks great.

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.
