[Go-essp-tech] [Curator] Minutes: 12/17/09 ESG Model Metadata Display Demonstration

[Dean N. Williams]

Thanks Sylvia for sending this out. Perhaps you can send this out  
again when before our go-essp-tech metadata discussion. Also the GFDL  
CMIP5 example data set is needed by a few other groups. When it is  
ready, please pass it along...

Best regards,
	Dean
