<div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr"><br><div>Dear Andrew et al.,</div><div><br></div><div><div>I suggest that the NSA consider the following proposal </div><div>to the NCAR management, something I suggested before </div><div>but which was not discussed. </div><div><br></div><div>I propose that all senior scientists and Sci IIIs are</div><div> encouraged to take a sabbatical once every 7</div><div> years, by offering only 50% salary every 7th</div><div> year. In this way for every 14 such staff we</div><div> make room for another, and we serve the</div><div> community. </div></div><div><br></div><div>I have taken advantage of the sabbatical program</div><div>whenever I was fit and able and due for a leave. I</div><div>can see no real downsides to this. Perhaps some can.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks</div><div><br></div></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Mar 4, 2019 at 1:56 PM Andrew Gettelman <<a href="mailto:andrew@ucar.edu">andrew@ucar.edu</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr"><div dir="ltr">Dear Colleagues,<div><br></div><div>What should we use the NCAR libraries for in the next decade?</div><div><br></div><div>A NCAR/UCAR cross lab group has been asked to develop, a conceptual design for the ML, FL and CG library spaces.
