<div><br><blockquote type="cite"><div>9.\u202f2.\u202f2026 v 14:38, Simon Hodson, ED CODATA <simon@codata.org>:</div><br class="Apple-interchange-newline"><div><meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8"><div style="overflow-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; line-break: after-white-space;">To the CDIF WG, AG and Community;<div><div><br></div><div>We had a very useful briefing meeting on Monday 8 December, to discuss the progress that was made at the Dagstuhl workshop in November. We would now like to follow up on this with calls on 4 March. We propose to hold two meetings, one at 15:00 UTC and the other at 21:00 UTC. I hope in that way we can accommodate a larger range of timezones.</div><div><br></div><div>The meeting will follow up on the work of the Dagstuhl groups, including that of the CDIF-4-XAS project, as well as providing an update on the work on documentation, communication and governance. </div><div><br></div><div>We will also discuss next steps\u2026 In that context, I am very pleased to communicate that the CDIF4EOSC proposal was successful (with a stellar 15/15 review score). We have embarked on the Grant Agreement Preparation process and hope that the project will start on 1 June or thereabouts.</div><div><br></div><div><div>In summary, the project will extend CDIF beyond the current profiles, develop a CDIF playbook and a set of tools to support implementation and test and refine this iteratively with a set of use cases. This is a huge opportunity to further extend and refine the CDIF recommendations, and to situate CDIF at the heart of EOSC developments, while also linking to other aligned activities and implementations globally!</div></div><div><br></div><div>I trust by the time of 4 March meeting we will be able to give you a briefing on the project plans and how we can ensure that the CDIF WG, AG etc a an integral part of the activity and advice around the project and that - while meeting its objectives and serving to advance EOSC - the project also addresses our shared vision for CDIF.</div><div><br></div><div>A calendar invitation for the calls on 4 March will follow.</div><div><br></div><div>With very best wishes,</div><div><br></div><div>Simon.</div><div><div>
