[CF-metadata] CF/COARDS for NASA SPG consideration

[Ed Armstrong]

Hi CF folks,

About  6 months ago I made an unsolicited request  to  the CF 
community to consider submitting CF/COARDS as a potential standard 
for consideration through the Standards Process Group, a NASA Earth 
Science Data Working Group, which fosters promotion of data and data 
management standards for NASA Earth Science Data Systems (recent work 
has focused on OPeNDAP, HDF5 among a few others).

Recently, Ethan Davis (Unidata), gave an overview of CF at the ESIP 
Federation meeting last July, in Madison, WI that was attended by 
many SPG members and rekindled interest in the idea of submitting CF 
for standards consideration as a RFC (Request For Comment) or as a 
Technical Note.

Details on what such a submission would entail can be found on our 
web pages, that spell out the process clearly.  But I'll be happy to 
answer any questions of course.

So I would like to again to gauge the interest in your community on 
submitting CF as a candidate to the SPG.  You can either respond to 
me directly or I will be monitoring the CF list. Thanks.

regards,
