Hello Go_ESSP participants,<br>
<br>
As with past meetings of GO-ESSP, September's GO-ESSP workshop in
Seattle was enjoyable and fascinating. As the host of this years'
meeting I'd like to express my thanks to all who attended and helped
out for making it a great success. <br>
<br>
The on-line agenda from the meeting has been updated with links to the
session abstracts and presentation materials. Thanks to Jason Alvich
and Chris Kerr at GFDL for pulling this together. See

<br>
Below are the volunteer action items that we drafted in the final hour
of the meeting. While many of the items represent unfunded (or
inadequately funded) work, all are important goals for our community.
I hope we will all refer back to these as touch stones from time to
time to remind us of priorities and help us to measure our progress.<br>
<br>
thanks - Steve Hankin (on behalf of the GO-ESSP Organizing
Committee)<br>
