Hi GCAP Members, A few quick updates related to our Center and our NGS Geospatial Modeling Grant: 1. Colin Becker at NGS passed on that each of our 8 tasks will be assigned an NGS Subject Matter Expert (SME), who will meet with the task team periodically. 2. I'm not sure when the SMEs will be assigned, but we should schedule an internal GCAP kickoff meeting ahead of time to discuss task team assignments and next steps. Please complete this WhenIsGood poll for scheduling our meeting: http://whenisgood.net/5g92g4z<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwhenisgood.net%2F5g92g4z&data=05%7C01%7Cgcap_members%40ENGR.ORST.EDU%7C72b3118fced747b0853b08dbc8e92ff8%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638324676069636531%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=2qj9EBSSKW8C8NLVUBYspiTfT3LGWdmzNA4h%2BlIT30w%3D&reserved=0> 3. Brian Weaver set up this GCAP listserv. To email our full group, please use the email: gcap_members@ENGR.ORST.EDU<mailto:gcap_members@ENGR.ORST.EDU>.

I also created a GCAP Google Drive: https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0ALzuLcYhCR7tUk9PVA<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdrive.google.com%2Fdrive%2Fu%2F0%2Ffolders%2F0ALzuLcYhCR7tUk9PVA&data=05%7C01%7Cgcap_members%40ENGR.ORST.EDU%7C72b3118fced747b0853b08dbc8e92ff8%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638324676069636531%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=15dHvtTGrV7SD0qf5EAj3ZSkmy3knwus%2FDKJ0dcUdgA%3D&reserved=0> . Please note that this is different from the Google Drive we used in writing the proposal, as I think it's important to have a dedicated Drive to organize our work on the grant. There is not much content on the Drive at the moment, but my first step was to create a general organizational structure for the drive, including folders for Tasks (including a subfolder for each Task), Project Administration, and Reporting. A very tentative list of task leads and team members is here: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/16K57MpYBiXqx35HNpjvA5iidpQ_2lR9CMRQF-ULAvnA/edit#gid=0<https://nam04.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fdocs.google.com%2Fspreadsheets%2Fd%2F16K57MpYBiXqx35HNpjvA5iidpQ_2lR9CMRQF-ULAvnA%2Fedit%23gid%3D0&data=05%7C01%7Cgcap_members%40ENGR.ORST.EDU%7C72b3118fced747b0853b08dbc8e92ff8%7Cce6d05e13c5e4d6287a84c4a2713c113%7C0%7C0%7C638324676069792838%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=qpd6AnBrJwPYjhV2pI%2BJAbdvQ1PQolQbZ2TgyN4%2FJIw%3D&reserved=0> . It's fine to make changes (including adding your name to the tasks you are planning to work on), as this was just my extremely rough attempt at a very preliminary listing of task team members, based on my recollection of who worked on what section(s) of the proposal. For those who are still determining which tasks they can best contribute to, please consider attending multiple task meetings initially. Thanks, and again, very much looking forward to working with all of you! Best, -Chris
