Action 2:
Action 9 from the September 1995 meeting--which states that the Policy
Committee agenda should include a discussion of Unidata's name--will appear
on the agenda for the September 1996 meeting.
Postponed. This topic does not require immediate attention as there are no pressing issues attached. Consideration of a change of name for Unidata is better held for a later date when the implications of initiatives such as widening Unidata's users base are clearer.
Action 3:
The UPC, with help from Otis Brown, will develop a Web page of information
on EOS products of potential interest to the Unidata community.
Done.
Cf:

the process the UPC will identify what it believes must be protected at all
cost.
Done.

The UPC will explore avenues to diversified funding, preferably on a 5-year
basis.
In progress. See Director's Report.
Action 6:
The UPC will discuss with NSF the possibility of accessing funds from the
EHR directorate

Action 7:
Nominations for Users Committee membership will be accepted by Linda Miller
