Dear Ben, Erin, and other colleagues,
I concur with the proposal of ESIP hosting cross-community interaction.
As you recall, we are facilitating a discussion on the netCDF Conventions for
Uncertainty: being it an aspect of quality, we could revive the data quality
activity, involving the interested from the cf-netCDF SWG (where everything
started), the metadata WG, the CF-metadata list, etc.
Thanks again and let me know how to proceed, if we all agree on this.
Best regards,
Lorenzo
