· Created NetCDF Utilities meta data Handling http://wiki.esipfed.org/index.php/NetCDF_Utilities_Metadata_Handling [7]

· Walt – depends on the data manager how things work – different between on-ground and reality
· Can’t make things a requirement/mandatory if ALL use cases can’t meet it
· Ed – could add a paragraph to the page about being cognizant of various attributes when creating a subset of a granule
· John G.is worried about bringing this into ACDD
· What is stopping ACDD 1.2 from being finalized? – Not sure – possibly the OK from some of the original “principle” people (like Nan and Derek)
Summer meeting
· Have 2 sessions submitted. Did not come to a consensus that we needed any further sessions. Would like to include some ACDD, but just adding it to an existing session.
