Agenda (Version 0.2 of 2011- 3-26 16: 2)

Agenda:

1 Acceptance of Agenda, Minutes of T3 (see draft minutes ), and Action Items (see AI List ).

2 Sub-Activity 2.2 (Roadmap Activity 2b; establishing a "GEO label")

3 Activity 3: Outreach to diverse scientific and technological communities
The sub-activities 3.1 (Production of promotion material) and 3.2 (Slide library on how GEOSS works) have been stalled for some time and should be reactivated. Several recent events underlined the importance of promotion material and a slide library.

4 Activity 5 (Presence of GEO at major symposia)
For the overall activity, having an outreach plan would be very helpful. Russell Lefevre has drafted such a plan for EGIDA (available as doc ), and the Task team should consider whether elements of this plan can serve the Task team. For Sub-Activity 5.1 (Identify major scientific conference and facilitate plenary presentations on GEO and GEOSS) (and also the other sub-activities), an up-to-date list of major conferences would be very helpful. An initial list is available at http://www.geo-tasks.org/meetings_sandt . Information on major scientific meetings not included can be sent to info@geo-tasks.org. For coordination of Sub-Activity 5.2 (Session on GEOSS-related topics at major scientific meetings) and Sub-Activity 5.3 (Organize/promote side events at major scientific meetings), it would be helpful to have an on-line up-to-date overview of who plans to or has submitted session or event proposal to which meeting.
