Call for Member Nominations of Steering Committee “Management and Operations of synchrotron-hosted analytical capabilities for Earth sciences research” We are creating a Steering Committee that is an implementation committee whose charge is to oversee the creation of a new organization in response to the NSF Dear Colleague Letter “Competition of Management and Operations of synchrotron-hosted analytical capabilities for Earth sciences research”. We envisage a committee membership covering the broad earth science community, including representatives of COMPRES and GSECARS. The number of members would be in the range 10-15. The Steering Committee would be dissolved upon submission of the solicited NSF proposal. Some Charges to the Steering Committee may include: 1. Developing a vision statement for the new organization. 2. Selecting a name for the new organization. 3. Developing the organizational chart that describes the management structure of the new organization. 4. Selecting a Search Committee that would recommend the Principal Investigator and other leadership positions for the new organization. 5. Selecting a Proposal Writing Group. 6. Selecting a Governance and Membership committee that will propose the structure and management of the new organization if the proposal is successful. 7. Receiving input from the broader earth sciences community. Please send nominations for consideration to: Mark Rivers, Co-Director GSECARS (rivers(a)cars.uchicago.edu<mailto:rivers@cars.uchicago.edu>) Carl Agee, COMPRES President (agee(a)unm.edu<mailto:agee@unm.edu>)
