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.
