• planning for a) being able to publish before AGU, b) having to publish after AGU

Regarding publication in EOS

• Important to engage w/ EOS now to ensure interest and focus
• Updates on approaching EOS editors/reps regarding publication
• Anne to ping Karen

Community input now to help scope workshop?

• A web page?

Carol spoke to the BRDI Board meeting

• fairly positive reaction, insights into Academy mechanisms
• D survey process might not be appropriate vehicle

Workshop funding

• $10K from Moore
• NSF Geo won't fund alone, but might pair with another division, maybe ACI

Becoming a working group

• Curt supports the effort, will speak with Carol

Resulting telecon notes, action items

EOS piece

• Anne W to ask for feedback from Anne J on outline before weekend to identify any needed course corrections DONE - Anne provided excellent feedback on the outline. Carol, Chris, Bob, and Anne W to work on outline and pass to Anne, perhaps next week.
• Anne (W) to ping an EOS editor directly
  • Peter F has agreed to provide introduction
• If we don't get published before AGU it's not the end of the world as there are other avenues to publicize the effort, though there's still some hope

Proposed: a forum for the community to weigh in

As the workshop will be closed, we can provide a means for the community to speak. This could also provide some publicity.

• Attendees were in support of the idea
• We need a list of questions to ask the community. Anne to make a wiki spot for this. DONE: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Questions_to_ask_the_community_regarding_scope,_etc._before_the_January_workshop

Becoming a working group

• The Executive Committee meeting is the 2nd Thursday of the month
• We need a name for the working group before then 2nd Thursday of October. As we are not yet fully sure that a Decadal Survey is the best NRC vehicle, our name should be more general
• Anne to make a wiki for the name discussion. DONE: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Suggestions_for_naming_our_working_group

Workshop funding

• NSF somewhat turned us down. We'll take NSF and NASA off the table and continue moving forward anyway

The workshop

• Next step: identify stakeholder roles we want to represented at the workshop. Anne to make wiki spot for this and populate w/ suggestions from prior meetings. DONE: http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/Stakeholder_roles_that_should_be_represented_at_the_workshop
• Need to hear from Paul re: mechanisms, sensitivies, what the Academy needs
• Engage with Bill Michener now, Carol to reach out. DONE - we're are in the process of setting up a telecon w/ Bill

Next telecon

• Anne on travel next week (unless the government closes) and on leave the week of 10/7 - 10/11
• We'll schedule a telecon for Thursday, 10/17. If we don't need it we won't use it.
• Regularly scheduled telecon is Thursday, 10/24. If we don't need it we won't use it.
