Dear all,
Thank you very much for the very effective call today.
Please find my notes at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ppudp1raRFAEHO6YxJP9JHk0JJsw5Bi19RPV…
The next call will be at the same time next week (Friday 22 Feb, 15:00 UTC)! You should all have the regular call in your dairies on a weekly basis. If not please request the details and the calendar invitation from Asha
Christoph kindly proposed a revised charter https://docs.google.com/document/d/1_j-QDoSGy4fdELquH6K6b4wW7MtjkRImZfE3… which was the topic of discussion.
That resulted in a plan for the structure of the charter: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1ppudp1raRFAEHO6YxJP9JHk0JJsw5Bi19RPV…
Gail kindly agreed to lead the writing between now and the next call:
– she will write a new charter based on today’s discussions and the suggested structure;
– she will submit a paper proposal to the Drexel-CODATA FAIR-RRDM Workshop 2019 on ‘Beyond CC’ as discussed at the Montreal workshop;
– she will submit a proposal for a workshop topic to the Drexel-CODATA FAIR-RRDM Workshop 2019 on on responsibility of data users in reassuring data providers of the fairness of FAIRness…
While we’re doing this please consider submitting a proposal at https://conference.codata.org/Drexel_CODATA_2019/; registering at http://bit.ly/Drexel-CODATA-Workshop-Register; and of course the RDA Plenary https://www.rd-alliance.org/rda-thirteenth-plenary-registration
I will not be available next week, so Asha will kindly initiate the call.
With very best wishes,
Simon.
