GEOGLAM Status within CEOS
• CEOS Acquisition Strategy for GEOGLAM to be presented for endorsement next week at CEOS Plenary– SDCG should consider an ACTION to conduct a
brief review and assessment (2-3 pages) of how this strategy might overlap, conflict, and/or complement

GEOGLAM Status within CEOS
• CEOS ad hoc Working Group for GEOGLAM considering a name change– Suggestion was made at the SIT Workshop to
stress that the CEOS group was working on space data coordination, rather than GEOGLAM coordination
• Suggested name discussed was the “Space Data Coordination Group for GEOGLAM”– Current plan is not to propose a change at Plenary
