Hi Erin, Thanks for the quick reply. The ESIP Federation hosting facilities sound like they could be an ideal venue for these discussions on topics that cross community boundaries. I am taking the liberty of sending this email exchange to a few groups that might have thoughts on it. In particular, the suggestion came up in the OGC CF-netCDF Standards Working Group, so I'm sending them a copy along with the old GALEON mail list which at one time was used for this sort of cross-community interaction. And I'm going to ask the Unidata Technical Staff for their take on it too. The topic that spurred our looking into ESIP Fed as a kind of "neutral" venue was a discussion of conventions for carrying uncertainty information in netCDF (and ncISO) objects, but it might also be a good place for conversations among the groups working on data models for CF. I'd like to get some feedback from these folks before the CF-netCDF SWG session at the OGC Technical Committee meetings next month.
