1. Meeting report out by 3/7/08 2. Establish ad-hoc advisory committee sampled from this group (6-15), [with reporting to larger community] 3. EPA AMI/GEOSS Keating short term systems RFA 4. Scoping out data vision and plan: preferred future a. Includes user communities and system objectives b. Includes rules in terms of data standards and interface protocols c. Includes explicit chaining connections

Multiple levels involved

Larger community: wiki advisory committee; community wide report include:

• inventory of systems • opportunities for leveraging • initial perspectives on inefficiencies • recommendations on formatting and access conventions • costs of participating in community systems (e.g., monitoring meta data) • assessment (relative strengths and weaknesses of systems)

Federal agency • reviewing partnerships, especially EPA, NASA, NOAA ad hoc to date, data are a natural NASA has been major catalyst (Data Fed, ESIP)..FMGAQ • role of U.S GEO…..who is guiding who here


EPA (OAR, OEI, ORD, ORD/NOAA)

• EPA integration systems are immature • Management and coordination issues galore • Assessment of systems???....systems run rampant…redundancies and inadequacies • Chet/Rich…deliver recommendations/briefing to OAR/OEI and ORD management…illustrate redundancies, lack of coordination, blunt assessment o At a minimum remove barriers and provide incentives for responsibility in community framework o Challenging the single client concept • Closer to home….cost of being in a community (e.g., monitoring group improving meta data, especially site representativeness for model evaluation) • Ask IG to assess epa air data systems  • Or ..perform an objective assessment, system costs, user frequency, surveys…
