The PBO data management plan describes the PBO data policy, data archiving/analysis structure, and data products. The data management plan can be found at http://www.unavco.org/PBO/data/pbo_dplan02.pdf We encourage all interested community members to read the draft plan and send written comments to pbo-dcomm@unavco.org. All comments e-mailed to that address will be automatically posted to a public web page at: http://pbo.unavco.org/mailman/listinfo/pbo-dcomm with e-mail headers processed into a human-readable, but not computer-readable form to thwart e-mail harvesters. Comments sent to other e-mail addresses or through other means will be bounced back with a request to send written comments to the above e-mail address. Please send your comments in plain text only. Attachments or HTML e-mail will not be accepted. The timeline for comments and revisions is: - All comments are due by 2359 MST, Friday, 12 March 2004 Comments received by that deadline will be considered in revising the current plan - The next draft data management plan will be completed by 19 March - The revised draft plan will be sent to the UNAVCO Board of Directors and Standing Committee for a two-week review - The Board and Standing Committee comments will be considered in creating the final PBO data management plan - The final PBO data management plan will be finished in early- to mid-April and posted on the PBO and EarthScope web pages. To insure maximum exposure to this request, we are distributing it through several email lists. Our apologies if you receive multiple copies. We look forward to receiving your feedback, and thank you in advance for your help in building PBO.
