[ESP] ESP: Meeting Agenda

[Glenn Rutledge]

Dean,
You make me laugh.  I stopped laughing when I realized that we need to 
stop chasing windmills and get on with a specific Agenda.  Yes, "we 
should focus on what we want to cover at the meeting...".  Not decide 
what each participant wants to talk about....

Chris, you need to pull in scope, bound the issues and then propose 
talks from participants based upon several achievable goals.  One cannot 
develop an Agenda based upon what they want to talk about!

May I suggest that you go back to our NOMADS meetings in the Fall of 
2002 at CDC where I believe most have agreed to some basics:

http://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/oa/climate/nomads/faq.html

You'll notice one of the goals is to have a Unified Web presence.  Was 
this work on target?  Are the goals/formats etc. still OK?  I hope these 
words are taken in a positive light.  I, as a user and archive 
"provider" cannot help with these specific s/w tasks- but I do hope I 
can add some vision.  Thus, I'm still not sure I'll be attending. 
Unidata will be there, and have a couple of slides from me should I not 
attend.  Regards, Glenn
