The ACDD Steering Committee formalizes changes and additions to ACDD.
The discussion for changes to ACDD is carried out via this wiki and the ESIP Documentation Cluster mailing list. To sign up for edit privileges for this wiki you must first register at the ESIP Commons. This registration also grants access to other community resources supported by ESIP. Both the mailing list and this wiki are open and anyone in the community. ACDD will evolve based on the discussions on this list and as documented on these wiki pages. Occasionally, the discussion may need to be moderated or a decision must be made. In these cases the steering committee will vote and adopt a solution as described below.
ACDD will evolve based on the direction of the steering committee, which is comprised of the following members:
- Anna Milan (Co-chair) NGDC
- John Graybeal (Co-chair) Graybeal.SKI Consulting
- Dave Blodgett USGS
- Nan Galbraith WHOI
- Ted Habermann The HDF Group

Vote 70% majority of voting members; members may decline to vote on some issues
If a vote is taken or a decision is reached, that decision should be broadcast to those who could not be present. Discussion of the decision takes place for some period of time (or till the next meeting?) If there is disagreement or ongoing discussion, the decision is not finalized. If there is no discussion or disagreement, the topic is final and will not be revisited later.
