Notes:
1) ESIP ExCom Program Committee update
- ESIP has finished its restructuring process, now a single organization with a single governance structure
- Not likely to affect DS committee in major way
- Bruce Caron has really started to push Slack ESIP-wide
- #stewardship channel on ESIP slack: https://esip-all.slack.com/messages/stewardship/
- Jamie: Slack could be helpful to cut down the number of emails sent and communicate with team members who are geographically distributed.
- Ruth: Will second Jamie's feedback. Ruth has also found it useful to coordinate collaborative efforts. Ruth pointed out that updates to the citation guidelines would be a good test case. Ruth has also found that Slack integrates well with Google Drive.
- Question from Sophie/Rama: Does ESIP Program Committee have funding to bring outside speakers in for summer meeting (speakers other than plenaries)?
- Matt: The answer right now is no, for speakers other than plenary speakers, but Annie Burgess communicated that this may change going forward (stay tuned)
- Change is not likely to take effect before the upcoming Summer Meeting
2) Finalization of the 2017 DS Committee Strategic Plan
- From Program Committee call: Matt/Jamie/Sophie need to relate DS committee objectives to overall ESIP plan objectives (minor task)
- Regarding DS plan objective #4: Sophie reports that Soren Scott was already able to finish a draft of the Software Guidelines; she is looking for feedback from various committees/clusters within ESIP
- This means that DS committee shouldn’t be working "from scratch" on the 4th objective in our plan
- Jamie will circulate a link to a revised final plan once these changes have been incorporated
