Hi everybody,
I am member of another unformal group working on planetary data in France
(ASOV-Planéto),
actually mainly grouping people from the region near paris, but establishing
contact with the european community through EuroPlanet project.
This group ASOV-Planéto is willing to submit proposition for additions and
modifications
of the actual UCD1+ list to the board!
See the actual ;-) status of the reflexion at
http://portail.imcce.fr/fr/expert/ssvo/wgovp/propucd.html,
done mainly by Jérôme Berthier from IMCCE.
Is there a formal/official way to do this?
Can people who are not part of the board submit modifications? How?
Is there an entry point for the community outside the board?
What is the "good" submission path or procedure?
Four questions for the same pb is perhaps enough! :-D
Cordially,
Pierre
