*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.
