CEDAR email: Outcomes of first decadal survey white paper planning workshop

[Asti Bhatt]

Dear Colleagues,

On Friday, Oct 29, we held the first workshop to plan for various white 
paper submissions to the upcoming Solar and Space Physics decadal 
survey. Thank you to all who joined and facilitated discussions on a 
short notice, and apologies to those who couldn't make it due to the 
short notice. The workshop agenda 
<https://www.hou.usra.edu/meetings/decadalsurvey2021/> included several 
topics that were discussed for about half hour each. During the workshop 
the following two documents were created -

1. A notes document 
<https://docs.google.com/document/d/1eMQJZh8YHtQY9sw6Bd23NbDARGkHzbDw7KO-Pv3Fveg/edit?usp=sharing> 
- where everyone's thoughts were penned down. This document is open to 
everyone to put their thoughts in.

2. A spreadsheet of white paper ideas 
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1QQwLTlUqdm5WkUnUl7SQ0reoWLJYNM8SVa38i4GKeo8/edit?usp=sharing>- 
the white paper topics are separated by categories on the workshop 
agenda. We encourage everyone to add new topics, put themselves as lead 
authors to new topics and/or join existing efforts as contributors.

The white paper submissions are due by March 2022, and the community 
will be given at least a couple months notice before the submissions are 
due. The CSSC and USRA are facilitating this process in two ways:

*a) facilitating collaborative writing sessions for identified white 
paper ideas* - We request people or teams who are working on white paper 
efforts to reach out to us if they need such support.

*b) organizing two more workshops in the coming months on topics that 
need further discussions* - The next workshop will be on outlining 
science questions and research infrastructure needs for the 
Mesosphere-lower thermosphere/Ionosphere research for the next decade. 
We will announce the exact date shortly, but it will likely be in early 
December or early January.

Please reach out to us with any questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Asti Bhatt, Doug Rowland, Tzu-Wei Fang, Lindsay Goodwin, Julio Urbina, 
Larisa Goncharenko
