[Fwd: Re: RE: [ESP] Name, goals and logo]

[V. Balaji]

I'm fine with whichever image one goes with, but about the name...
Could we change it to ESSP (Earth System Science Portal). Earth Science
is customarily understood to be geosciences, and as that community is
deeply involved along on metadata, standards, and portal technology, we
might be misunderstood. The GO- prefix is fine... BTW there is already a
GO-Geo, which is "really" in Earth Science...
