Plans for January 31, 2013 telecon

Respectfully proposed by Anne. Please chime in.

Potential outcomes of survey

• Cross agency coordination
• Id high priority needs
• Make recommendations for moving forward
• Metrics
• Funding priorities
• Resolving conflicting agency requirements
• Address cultural barriers

Cluster goals for upcoming year

• 6 month, summer ESIP meeting, July 9 - 12?
  • Literature review substantially underway
  • List of options and a discussions underway
• 12 month, winter ESIP meeting, Jan 2014
  • Literature review completed, report written
  • "Options Report" available 1 month prior to winter meeting and distributed to panel members
  • Panel discussion at winter meeting w/ agency reps re: options, etc.

Options

• scope? earth science or beyond?

IMO we must at least consider scoping beyond earth sciences, even if we ultimately decide it's not feasible. I would be interested in seeking out "widely cross discipline" user stories. Real stories would be most compelling. How might someone from NIH use earth science data? Or a social scientist? First responders? etc. But, we also must consider resource limitations, costs and risks, as best we can estimate them.

Literature Review

Relevant work has already been done and reports have been written. We should be aware of those efforts and leverage them where possible and appropriate.

• Make a reading list
  • Start with References circulated at winter meeting session.
• Get readers/reviewers to read and report back about some portion by summer meeting.

Resources

• Are there any??? Esp for literature review help?
• Sarah may have time
